156-315.81 Exam Dumps - Checkpoint CCSE R81 Questions and Answers

To use SmartConsole R81 for managing SmartEvent R81, you need to have the following ports open:

• Port 19009 for communication over HTTPS (443)
• Port 19009 for communication over HTTP (80)

These ports are necessary for the SmartConsole to communicate with SmartEvent for management and monitoring purposes.

 The cpinfo command is a tool that collects diagnostic data from a Check Point gateway or management server. The data includes configuration files, logs, status reports, and more. The cpinfo output can be used for troubleshooting or sent to Check Point support for analysis. The -x parameter is used to get information about the specified Virtual System on a VSX gateway. A Virtual System is a virtualized firewall instance that runs on a VSX gateway and has its own security policy and objects.

Dynamic Dispatch is a feature that enhances CoreXL performance by dynamically assigning new connections to CoreXL FW instances based on their CPU utilization1. To enable Dynamic Dispatch on Security Gateway without enabling Firewall Priority Queues (FPQ), you need to run the command fw ctl multik set_mode 4 in Expert mode and reboot2. This command will set the CoreXL mode to Dynamic Dispatcher without FPQ. The other options are not correct because:

• A. fw ctl Dyn_Dispatch on: This command does not exist and will return an error message.
• B. fw ctl Dyn_Dispatch enable: This command does not exist and will return an error message.
• D. fw ctl multik set_mode 1: This command will set the CoreXL mode to Static Dispatcher without FPQ, which is the default mode2. This mode will use a static hash function to assign new connections to CoreXL FW instances based on their IP addresses and protocol.

The FWD daemon uses TCP port 256 to do a Full Synchronization between gateway cluster members. This port is also used for other synchronization types, such as Delta Synchronization and Accelerated Synchronization. The FWD daemon is responsible for synchronizing the connections table, NAT table, and VPN keys between cluster members.

The component of R81 Management that is used for indexing is SOLR. SOLR is an open-source enterprise search platform that provides fast and scalable indexing and searching capabilities. SOLR is used by SmartConsole to index the objects and rules in the security policy, as well as the logs and events in SmartLog and SmartEvent. SOLR enables quick and easy access to the relevant information in the management database. References: Check Point Security Expert R81 Course, SOLR Troubleshooting

The main difference between SSL VPN (Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network) and IPSec VPN (Internet Protocol Security Virtual Private Network) is in the way they operate:

SSL VPN typically does not require the installation of a resident VPN client. It often relies on a web browser to establish the VPN connection, making it more convenient for remote users who may not want to install dedicated VPN software.

IPSec VPN, on the other hand, often requires the installation of a resident VPN client on the user's device to establish the VPN connection. This client software is necessary for configuring and managing the VPN connection.

Option C, stating that SSL VPN and IPSec VPN are the same, is incorrect because they have distinct characteristics as described above.

Option A is incorrect because it inaccurately suggests that IPSec VPN does not require a resident VPN client, which is not true in most cases.

Option B is incorrect because it wrongly claims that SSL VPN requires the installation of a resident VPN client.

To determine the cause of a cluster gateway showing "Down" despite running "clusterXL_admin up" on the down member, you can run the following command:

This command will provide a list of cluster members along with their statuses and can help diagnose the issue with the down member.

The command vpn tu tlist shows detailed information about VPN tunnels, such as the peer IP address, encryption domain, IKE phase 1 and phase 2 status, encryption algorithm, and tunnel uptime. The command vpn tu is an interactive tool that allows users to list, delete, or reconnect VPN tunnels. The command cpview is a real-time performance monitoring tool that shows various statistics about the system and network.

Check Point Capsule is a suite of solutions designed to provide comprehensive mobile security and secure access. The components of Check Point Capsule include:

Capsule Docs (Option A): A component that secures document sharing and protects sensitive data.

Capsule Cloud (Option B): A component that provides cloud-based security services.

Capsule Workspace (Option D): A component that provides secure workspace on mobile devices.

Option C, "Capsule Enterprise," is not a recognized component of Check Point Capsule based on the available information. Therefore, it is the correct answer as the component that is NOT part of Check Point Capsule.

 According to out of the box SmartEvent policy, the blade that will automatically be correlated into events is IPS. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is a blade that detects and prevents network attacks by inspecting traffic and applying signatures and protections. SmartEvent correlates IPS logs into events based on predefined event definitions, such as IPS Attack, IPS Attack High Confidence, IPS Attack Critical Confidence, etc. The other blades are not automatically correlated into events by default, but they can be added to the SmartEvent policy manually.

 SandBlast Agent is a comprehensive endpoint security solution that extends 0-day prevention to web browsers and user devices. It protects against advanced threats such as ransomware, phishing, and zero-day attacks by using a combination of static, dynamic, and behavioral analysis. References: [SandBlast Agent Datasheet]

 The process that is used mainly for backward compatibility of gateways in R81.X is fwm. The fwm daemon handles communication with GUI-client, database manipulation, policy compilation and Management HA synchronization for legacy gateways that do not support the cpm daemon. The cpm daemon is the new Check Point Management Server daemon that handles these tasks for R80 and higher gateways. The cpd daemon is the Check Point Management daemon that handles communication between SmartConsole applications and Security Management Servers. The fwd daemon is the Firewall Daemon that handles communication between Security Gateways and Security Management Servers2. References: 2: Check Point Software, Getting Started, Processes.

The back end database for Check Point R81 Management uses PostgreSQL, which is an open source relational database management system2. MongoDB, MySQL, and DBMS are not used by Check Point R81 Management. References: 2: Check Point Software, Getting Started, Database.

 RPM upgrade is not a valid upgrade method to R81.20. RPM upgrade is a method of upgrading from R80.20.M1 to R80.20.M2 or later, but it is not supported for upgrading to R81.20. The valid upgrade methods to R81.20 are CPUSE upgrade, advanced upgrade, and upgrade with migration. References: [Check Point Security Expert R81 Installation and Upgrade Guide], page 12.

 The Threat Prevention software components available on the Check Point Security Gateway are IPS, Anti-Bot, Anti-Virus, Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. These components provide comprehensive protection against various types of cyber threats, such as network attacks, malware, ransomware, phishing, zero-day exploits, data leakage, and more. IPS is a network security component that detects and prevents malicious traffic based on signatures, behavioral patterns, and anomaly detection. Anti-Bot is a network security component that detects and blocks botnet communications and command-and-control servers. Anti-Virus is a network security component that scans files for known viruses, worms, and trojans. Threat Emulation is a network security component that emulates files in a sandbox environment to detect unknown malware and prevent zero-day attacks. Threat Extraction is a network security component that removes malicious content from files and delivers clean files to users.
