Included in the customer’s network are some firewall systems with the Performance Pack in use.
The customer wishes to use these firewall systems in a cluster (Load Sharing mode). He is not
sure if he can use the Sticky Decision Function in this cluster. Explain the situation to him.
A.
The customer can use the firewalls with Performance Pack inside the cluster, which should
support the Sticky Decision Function. It is just necessary to configure it with the
clusterXL_SDF_enable command.
B.
ClusterXL always supports the Sticky Decision Function in the Load Sharing mode.
C.
The customer can use the firewalls with Performance Pack inside the cluster, which should
support the Sticky Decision Function. It is just necessary to enable the Sticky Decision Function in
the SmartDashboard cluster object in the ClusterXL page, Advanced Load Sharing Configuration
window.
D.
Sticky Decision Function is not supported when employing either Performance Pack or a
hardware-based accelerator card. Enabling the Sticky Decision Function disables these
acceleration products.
D is correct

The Sticky Decision Function has the following limitations:
Sticky Decision Function is not supported when employing either Performance Pack or a hardware-based accelerator card. Enabling the Sticky Decision Function disables these acceleration products.
When the Sticky Decision Function is used in conjunction with VPN, cluster members are prevented from opening more than one connection to a specific peer. Opening another connection would cause another SA to be generated, which a third-party peer, in many cases, would not be able to process.
