• Question 232:

  Alice and Bob are going to deploy Management Data Plane Separation (MDPS) for all their Check Point Security Gateway(s)/Cluster(s). Which of the following statement is true?

  A. Each network environment is dependent and includes interfaces, routes, sockets, and processes
  B. Management Plane ?To access, provision and monitor the Security Gateway
  C. Data Plane ?To access, provision and monitor the Security Gateway
  D. Management Plane ?for all other network traffic and processing
  B. Management Plane ?To access, provision and monitor the Security Gateway

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Management Data Plane Separation (MDPS) is a feature that allows the separation of the management plane and the data plane on a Security Gateway or a cluster. The management plane is responsible for accessing, provisioning and monitoring the Security Gateway, while the data plane is responsible for all other network traffic and processing. Each network environment is independent and includes interfaces, routes, sockets, and processes1. References: Check Point R81 Administration Guide

• Question 233:

  Packet acceleration (SecureXL) identities connections by several attributes. Which of the attributes is NOT used for identifying connection?

  A. Source Port
  B. TCP Acknowledgment Number
  C. Source Address
  D. Destination Address
  B. TCP Acknowledgment Number

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  SecureXL does not use the TCP acknowledgment number as an attribute for identifying connections. SecureXL is a technology that accelerates the performance of the firewall by offloading some of the traffic processing from the firewall kernel to a more efficient path. SecureXL identifies connections by five attributes: source address, destination address, source port, destination port, and protocol1. These attributes are also known as the 5-tuple or the connection key. SecureXL uses these attributes to match packets to existing connections and apply the appropriate security policy and actions. SecureXL does not need to inspect the TCP sequence or acknowledgment numbers, as they are irrelevant for the connection identification and security enforcement2. The TCP sequence and acknowledgment numbers are used by the TCP protocol to ensure reliable and ordered delivery of data between endpoints

• Question 234:

  Which process handles connections from SmartConsole R80?

  A. cpm
  B. cpd
  C. cpmd
  D. fwd
  A. cpm

• Question 235:

  Which of the following is NOT a type of Endpoint Identity Agent?

  A. Terminal
  B. Light
  C. Full
  D. Custom
  A. Terminal

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The type of Endpoint Identity Agent that does not exist is Terminal. Endpoint Identity Agent is a software component that runs on Windows or Mac devices and provides identity information to the Check Point Security Gateway. Endpoint Identity Agent allows the Security Gateway to enforce granular access policies based on user identity and device compliance status. There are three types of Endpoint Identity Agent: Full Identity Agent - a persistent agent that provides seamless and transparent identity acquisition and SSO (single sign-on) capabilities. It supports various authentication methods, such as Active Directory, LDAP, RADIUS, certificate, etc. It also supports endpoint compliance checks and remediation actions. Light Identity Agent - a lightweight agent that provides identity acquisition through a web browser. It supports Active Directory authentication only. It does not support SSO or endpoint compliance features. Custom Identity Agent - a customized agent that provides identity acquisition through an API. It allows third-party applications or systems to integrate with Check Point Identity Awareness and provide user identity information. Terminal is not a type of Endpoint Identity Agent, but it is a type of Terminal Server Agent. Terminal Server Agent is a software component that runs on Windows Terminal Servers or Citrix Servers and provides identity information for multiple concurrent users who connect to these servers using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) protocol. Terminal Server Agent allows the Security Gateway to enforce granular access policies based on user identity and session information.

• Question 236:

  In which formats can Threat Emulation forensics reports be viewed in?

  A. TXT, XML and CSV
  B. PDF and TXT
  C. PDF, HTML, and XML
  D. PDF and HTML
  C. PDF, HTML, and XML

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The formats in which Threat Emulation forensics reports can be viewed in are PDF, HTML, and XML. Threat Emulation is a feature that detects and prevents zero-day attacks by emulating files in a sandbox environment and analyzing their behavior. Threat Emulation generates forensics reports that provide detailed information about the emulated files, such as verdict, severity, activity summary, screenshots, network activity, registry activity, file activity, and process activity. These reports can be viewed in PDF, HTML, or XML formats from SmartConsole or SmartView.

• Question 237:

  You have successfully backed up Check Point configurations without the OS information. What command would you use to restore this backup?

  A. restore_backup
  B. import backup
  C. cp_merge
  D. migrate import
  D. migrate import

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The command migrate import can be used to restore a backup of Check Point configurations without the OS information. This command imports the configuration from a file that was created using the migrate export command, which backs up only the Check Point configuration and not the OS settings. The other commands are either not valid or not suitable for restoring a backup without the OS information. References: Check Point R81 Installation and Upgrade Guide

• Question 238:

  Which configuration file contains the structure of the Security Server showing the port numbers, corresponding protocol name, and status?

  A. $FWDIR/database/fwauthd.conf
  B. $FWDIR/conf/fwauth.conf
  C. $FWDIR/conf/fwauthd.conf
  D. $FWDIR/state/fwauthd.conf
  C. $FWDIR/conf/fwauthd.conf

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The configuration file that contains the structure of the Security Server showing the port numbers, corresponding protocol name, and status is $FWDIR/conf/fwauthd.conf. This file is used for configuring authentication services in Check Point Security Servers.

• Question 239:

  What does it mean if Deyra sees the gateway status? (Choose the BEST answer.)

  

  A. SmartCenter Server cannot reach this Security Gateway.
  B. There is a blade reporting a problem.
  C. VPN software blade is reporting a malfunction.
  D. Security Gateway's MGNT NIC card is disconnected.
  B. There is a blade reporting a problem.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  If Deyra sees the gateway status as shown in the image, it means that there is a blade reporting a problem. The red exclamation mark indicates that one or more blades on the gateway have an issue that needs attention. The issue could be related to configuration, license, policy, or other factors. Deyra can hover over the icon to see more details about the problem. References: Training and Certification | Check Point Software, New Courses and Certificates for R81.20 - Check Point CheckMates

• Question 240:

  Which of the following is NOT a component of a Distinguished Name?

  A. Common Name
  B. Country
  C. User container
  D. Organizational Unit
  D. Organizational Unit

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  A Distinguished Name (DN) is a unique identifier for an object in an LDAP directory, such as a user, a group, or an organization. A DN consists of a sequence of relative distinguished names (RDNs), which are attributes that describe the object. The most common RDNs are: Common Name (CN): The name of the object, such as a user's full name or a group's name Country ? The two-letter ISO code of the country where the object is located, such as US or PK User container (UC): The name of the container that holds the user objects, such as Users or People Domain Component (DC): The name of the domain that the object belongs to, such as checkpoint.com or example.org An Organizational Unit (OU) is not a component of a DN, but a type of object that can be used to organize other objects in a hierarchical structure. An OU can have its own DN, which includes the OU attribute as an RDN, such as OU=Sales,DC=checkpoint,DC=com.
