The SMO Master is the SGM that is responsible for synchronizing the configuration and policy with the other SGMs in the security group. The SMO Master is automatically designated as the SGM with the lowest member ID, which is usually the first one added to the security group. The SMO Master can be changed manually if needed.

Network mode is the distribution mode that assigns packets to an SGM based solely on the packet destination IP. In this mode, the Orchestrator uses a hash function to map each destination IP to a specific SGM. This mode ensures that all packets with the same destination IP are processed by the same SGM, regardless of the source IP or port. This mode is suitable for scenarios where the destination IP is the main factor for load balancing, such as NAT or VPN.
