DAC
See "DAC Cable".
DAC Cable
Direct Attach Copper cable. A form of the high-speed shielded twinaxial copper cable
with pluggable transceivers on both ends. Used to connect to network devices (switches,
routers, or servers).
Downlink
See "Downlink Ports".
Downlink Ports
Interfaces on the Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator used to connect to Check Point
Security Appliances. You use DAC cables, Fiber cables (with transceivers), or Breakout
cables to connect between the Downlink ports and Security Appliances. The Check Point
Management traffic (policy, logs, synchronization, and so on) co-exists with the data
(user) traffic on the Downlink ports. Bandwidth is guaranteed for the Check Point
Management traffic (portion of the downlink bandwidth). These ports form the system
backplane (management, data plane, synchronization).
