Where should the sx_api_ports_dump.

The sx_api_ports_dump.py command is used to display port mapping and traffic distribution details for Security Groups and Orchestrator ports. This command must be run on the Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator (MHO), as it is the device responsible for managing communication and configuration of Security Groups and Security Group Members (SGMs). It does not function on the Management server, Security Group, or SMO Appliance, as these components do not have the same role or access to Orchestrator-specific port data.

Exact Extract:

“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.”

A. Management server: Incorrect, as the Management server does not manage Orchestrator port configurations or traffic distribution.

B. Security Group: Incorrect, as Security Groups (SGMs) do not have direct access to Orchestrator port data.

C. Orchestrator: Correct, as the Orchestrator is the device where this command is executed to retrieve port and traffic distribution information.

D. SMO Appliance: Incorrect, as the Single Management Object (SMO) Appliance does not handle Orchestrator-specific port management.
