Where should sx_api_ports_dump.py command be ran?

AManagement server

BSecurity Group

COrchestrator

DSMO Appliance

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The sx_api_ports_dump.py command should be run on the Orchestrator, which is the device that manages the communication and the configuration of the Security Groups and the SGMs. The command shows the port mapping and the traffic distribution for each Security Group, as well as the backplane bonds and the Orchestrator ports. The command does not work on the Management server, the Security Group, or the SMO Appliance, as they do not have the same role and functionality as the Orchestrator.

D, definitely D. The SMO Appliance is where all the security magic happens, and I'm not talking about rabbits and top hats, if you know what I mean. *nudges elbow*

I'm just going to guess and say A. The Management server sounds like it would be in charge of all the security stuff, so that's my pick. Hey, at least I'm honest about guessing!

Nah, I'm going with B. The Security Group is where all the security-related stuff lives, so that's gotta be the right answer, right? *wink wink*

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I'd say it's probably C, the Orchestrator. That's usually where you run system-level commands like this.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try running it on the Orchestrator.

I agree, the Orchestrator is the likely location for running system-level commands.

I think you're right, C sounds like the correct place to run that command.

I think the answer is D. The SMO Appliance seems like the logical place to run this command. It's probably where all the security-related scripts are located.
