156-215.81 Exam Dumps - Checkpoint CCSA R81 Questions and Answers

The answer is B because bridge mode deployment adds a Security Gateway to an existing environment without changing IP routing. Bridge mode is a transparent mode that does not require assigning IP addresses to the Security Gateway interfaces. Distributed deployment is a deployment where the Security Management Server and the Security Gateway are installed on separate machines. Remote deployment is a deployment where the Security Gateway is installed on a remote site and connects to the Security Management Server over a VPN tunnel. Standalone deployment is a deployment where the Security Management Server and the Security Gateway are installed on the same machine.References: [Check Point R81 Bridge Mode], [Check Point R81 Deployment Scenarios]

SmartView Monitor is the tool that allows you to monitor the top bandwidth on SmartConsole. SmartView Monitor is a graphical tool that displays real-time network and security performance data, such as traffic, throughput, connections, CPU usage, memory usage, etc. You can use SmartView Monitor to identify the top bandwidth consumers and optimize your network performance.References: [SmartView Monitor], [Monitoring Network Traffic]

Captive Portal is an authentication method used for Identity Awareness4. Captive Portal is a web-based authentication method that redirects users to a browser-based login page when they try to access the network. Users must provide their credentials to access the network resources. Captive Portal can be used for guest users or users who are not identified by other methods4. SSL, PKI, and RSA are not authentication methods used for Identity Awareness, but rather encryption or certificate technologies. References: Identity Awareness Reference Architecture and Best Practices

 In Logging and Monitoring, the tracking options are Log, Detailed Log and Extended Log. You can add Accounting and/or Suppression to each of these options1. Accounting enables you to track the amount of data that is sent or received by a specific rule. Suppression enables you to reduce the number of logs that are generated by a specific rule. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Accounting/Suppression. References: Logging and Monitoring Administration Guide R80 - Check Point Software

The Accounting tracking option is used to monitor the amount of data that passes through a connection. When this option is enabled on a traffic rule, the involved traffic logs are updated every 10 minutes to show how much data has passed on the connection. This information can be used for billing or auditing purposes3.

A Distributed Deployment is when the Security Management Server and Security Gateway are installed on separate machines. In this setup, the Security Gateway communicates its status to the Security Management Server, which resides at a different IP address.

Option A (Incorrect): "Targeted" is not an official Check Point deployment mode.

Option B (Incorrect): In Bridge Mode, the Security Gateway acts as a Layer 2 bridge and does not communicate its status to another IP.

Option D (Incorrect): In Standalone Mode, the Security Gateway and Management Server are on the same machine, meaning it does not communicate status to a different IP.

Thus, the correct answer is C. Distributed.

 The answer is B because AES-CBC-256 is not a supported encryption algorithm for IPsec Security Associations (Phase 2) in R81. The supported encryption algorithms are AES-GCM-128, AES-GCM-256, AES-CBC-128, 3DES, and NULL3 References: Check Point R81 VPN Administration Guide

When an encrypted packet is decrypted, this happens in the security policy4. The security policy is a set of rules that defines how the Security Gateway inspects and secures traffic. The security policy includes VPN rules that specify which traffic should be encrypted or decrypted. The inbound and outbound chains are part of the inspection framework that processes packets according to the security policy. References: Check Point R81 VPN Administration Guide

 RADIUS Accounting gets identity data from requests generated by the accounting client. RADIUS Accounting is a feature that allows tracking and measuring resource usage of network services by users. The accounting client, which is usually a network access server (NAS), sends accounting requests to a RADIUS server with information about user sessions, such as start and stop times, bytes transmitted and received, IP addresses, etc. The RADIUS server records this information in a database for billing, auditing, or reporting purposes. One of the mandatory attributes that the accounting client must include in every accounting request is the User-Name attribute, which identifies the user who is accessing the network service.

 Authentication rules are defined for user groups rather than individual users1. To define authentication rules, you must first define users and groups. You can define users with the Check Point user database, or with an external server, such as LDAP1. UserCheck is a feature that enables user interaction with security events2. Individual users and all users in the database are not valid options for defining authentication rules. References: How to Configure Client Authentication, UserCheck
