Answer: D

Explanation:

A Security Group (SG) requires at least one management port and one uplink port to function properly. The management port is used to connect the SG to the Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator (MHO) and the customer’s management infrastructure, such as SmartConsole or SmartDomain Manager. The uplink port is used to connect the SG to the customer’s network infrastructure, such as switches, routers, or firewalls. The uplink port is also used to send and receive traffic from the customer’s network to the SG.
