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

In a Cpinfo (Checkpoint information) command, various information is collected from a Security Gateway. However, firewall logs are NOT collected from a Security Gateway in a Cpinfo.

A. Firewall logs

The Cpinfo command typically collects information such as configuration and database files, system message logs, OS and network statistics, but it does not include firewall logs. Firewall logs are usually obtained separately using other methods or tools.

The command cpinfo -y all can be used to have cpinfo display all installed hotfixes. Cpinfo 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 -y parameter is used to specify which sections of data to include in the cpinfo output. The value all means to include all sections, including the hotfixes section, which shows the list of hotfixes installed on the system.

The correct syntax to import a host object using mgmt_cli is mgmt_cli add host name ip-address --format 1. The name and ip-address parameters are mandatory, while the format parameter is optional and can be either json or txt. The other options are incorrect because they either use wrong parameters, wrong hyphens, or wrong object types.

Threat Emulation downloads packages by default once per day. The packages contain updates for the Threat Emulation engine, signatures, and images. The download frequency can be changed in the Threat Prevention policy settings. References: Threat Emulation Administration Guide, Threat Prevention R81 Release Notes

SandBlast appliances can be deployed in the following modes:

C. Inline/prevent or detect

SandBlast appliances can be deployed in an inline mode where they actively inspect and prevent or detect malicious traffic. In this mode, the appliance sits in the network traffic path and can take actions to block or detect threats in real-time.

The benefit of fw monitor over tcpdump is that with fw monitor, you can see the inspection points, which cannot be seen in tcpdump. Inspection points are the locations in the firewall kernel where packets are inspected by the security policy and other software blades. Fw monitor allows you to capture packets at different inspection points and see how they are processed by the firewall. Tcpdump, on the other hand, is a generic packet capture tool that only shows the packets as they enter or leave the network interface.

 User-mode processes are processes that run in the user space of the operating system, as opposed to kernel-mode processes that run in the kernel space. User-mode processes are usually less privileged and have less access to system resources than kernel-mode processes. Check Point products use both user-mode and kernel-mode processes to provide various functionalities and services.

The following are some of the user-mode processes that can be seen on the management server and gateway:

• fwd: This process is responsible for policy installation, logging, and communication with other Check Point components. It runs on both the management server and gateway.
• cpd: This process is responsible for licensing, certificate management, and communication with SmartConsole. It runs on both the management server and gateway.
• cpwd: This process is responsible for monitoring and restarting other processes. It runs on both the management server and gateway.

The following is a user-mode process that can only be seen on the management server:

• fwm: This process is responsible for managing the security policy database, compiling the security policy, and generating reports. It runs only on the management server.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

The SmartView web application is a web-based interface that allows you to view and analyze logs and events from your Security Gateways and Management Servers1. To access the SmartView web application, you need to use the following link: https:// /smartview/. This link will prompt you to enter your credentials and then take you to the SmartView dashboard. The other options are not correct because:

• A. The link https:///smartviewweb/ is missing a slash (/) between the host name and smartviewweb.
• C. The link https://smartviewweb is missing a slash (/) after the host name and before smartviewweb.
• D. The link https:///smartview is missing a slash (/) at the end.

 UserCheck is a communication tool used to inform a user about a website or application they are trying to access. UserCheck allows administrators to interact with users in real time, informing them of the security policy and the actions they need to take. UserCheck can also enable users to self-remediate incidents or request exceptions from the administrator. References: Training & Certification | Check Point Software, Check Point Resource Library

 The command to add users to or from existing roles is add rba user roles . This command allows you to assign one or more roles to a user in the Gaia database. Roles are collections of permissions that define what actions a user can perform on the system. You can use predefined roles or create your own custom roles. To remove a role from a user, you can use the command delete rba user roles . 

According to the Check Point R81 release notes, acceleration is not supported for connections that require a Security server, such as HTTPS Inspection, Content Awareness, or Anti-Virus. The Security server performs deep inspection and modification of the traffic, which prevents acceleration. The other options are either false or not the most likely reason.

 For best practices, the recommended time for automatic unlocking of locked admin accounts is 30 minutes at least. Admin accounts can be locked due to failed login attempts, password expiration, or manual locking by another admin. To prevent unauthorized access or brute force attacks, locked admin accounts should not be unlocked automatically too soon. The recommended minimum time for automatic unlocking is 30 minutes, which can be configured from the SmartConsole under Manage > Permissions and Administrators > Advanced > Unlock locked administrators after. 

Check Point APIs let system administrators and developers make changes to the security policy with CLI tools and web-services. You can use an API to:

• Use an automated script to perform common tasks

• Integrate Check Point products with 3rd party solutions

• Create products that use and enhance the Check Point solution

According to the Check Point website, Capsule Connect and Capsule Workspace both offer secured connection for remote users who are using their mobile devices. However, there are differences between the two. For credential protection, Connect uses One-time Password login support and has no SSO support, whereas Workspace offers both One-Time Password and certain SSO login support. The other statements are either false or partially true. References: Capsule Connect and Capsule Workspace

The NAT rules that are prioritized first are Manual/Pre-Automatic NAT. NAT stands for Network Address Translation, and it is a feature that allows Security Gateways to modify the source or destination IP addresses or ports of packets that pass through them. NAT rules are the rules that define how NAT is applied to traffic that matches certain criteria. There are three types of NAT rules: Manual/Pre-Automatic NAT, Automatic NAT, and Manual/Post-Automatic NAT. Manual/Pre-Automatic NAT rules are the rules that are manually created by administrators and placed before the automatic NAT rules in the rulebase. These rules have the highest priority and are processed first by the Security Gateway. Automatic NAT rules are the rules that are automatically generated by the Security Gateway based on the NAT properties of network objects. These rules have the second highest priority and are processed after the manual/pre-automatic NAT rules. Manual/Post-Automatic NAT rules are the rules that are manually created by administrators and placed after the automatic NAT rules in the rulebase. These rules have the lowest priority and are processed last by the Security Gateway.
