Due to high CPU workload on the Security Gateway, the security administrator decided to purchase a new multicore CPU to replace the existing single core CPU. After installation, is the administrator required to perform any additional tasks?

  1. Go to clash-Run cpstop | Run cpstart
  2. Go to clash-Run cpconfig | Configure CoreXL to make use of the additional Cores | Exit cpconfig | Reboot Security Gateway
  3. Administrator does not need to perform any task. Check Point will make use of the newly installed CPU and Cores
  4. Go to clash-Run cpconfig | Configure CoreXL to make use of the additional Cores | Exit cpconfig | Reboot Security Gateway | Install Security Policy

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct answer is B because after installing a new multicore CPU, the administrator needs to configure CoreXL to make use of the additional cores and reboot the Security Gateway. Installing the Security Policy is not necessary because it does not affect the CoreXL configuration1.

When installing a dedicated R80 SmartEvent server, what is the recommended size of the root partition?

  1. Any size
  2. Less than 20GB
  3. More than 10GB and less than 20 GB
  4. At least 20GB

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The correct answer is D because the recommended size of the root partition for a dedicated R80 SmartEvent server is at least 20GB2. Any size, less than 20GB, or more than 10GB and less than 20GB are not sufficient for the SmartEvent server.

Which firewall daemon is responsible for the FW CLI commands?

  1. fwd
  2. fwm
  3. cpm
  4. cpd

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because the fwd daemon is responsible for the FW CLI commands3. The fwm daemon handles the communication between the Security Management server and the GUI clients. The cpm daemon handles the communication between the Security Management server and SmartConsole. The cpd daemon monitors the status of critical processes on the Security Gateway.

If the Active Security Management Server fails or if it becomes necessary to change the Active to Standby, the following steps must be taken to prevent data loss. Providing the Active Security Management Server is responsible, which of these steps should NOT be performed:

  1. Rename the hostname of the Standby member to match exactly the hostname of the Active member.
  2. Change the Standby Security Management Server to Active.
  3. Change the Active Security Management Server to Standby.
  4. Manually synchronize the Active and Standby Security Management Servers.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because renaming the hostname of the Standby member to match exactly the hostname of the Active member is not a recommended step to prevent data loss. The hostname of the Standby member should be different from the hostname of the Active member1. The other steps are necessary to ensure a smooth failover and synchronization between the Active and Standby Security Management Servers2.

Using R80 Smart Console, what does a "pencil icon" in a rule mean?

  1. I have changed this rule
  2. Someone else has changed this rule
  3. This rule is managed by check point's SOC
  4. This rule can't be changed as it's an implied rule

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because a pencil icon in a rule means that you have changed this rule3. The pencil icon indicates that the rule has been modified but not published yet. You can hover over the pencil icon to see who made the change and when3. The other options are not related to the pencil icon.

there is an incorrect word in the problem statement. for example, in question 1, there is the word "speci c". this is "specific. in the other question, there is the word "noti cation". this is "notification. these mistakes make this site difficult for me to use.

q47: intrusion prevention system is the correct answer, not patch management. by definition, there are no patches available for a zero-day vulnerability. the way to prevent an attacker from exploiting a zero-day vulnerability is to use an ips.
