Question #371
Bob needs to know if Alice was configuring the new virtual cluster interface correctly.
Which of the following Check Point commands is true?
- A . cphaprob-aif
- B . cp hap rob state
- C . cphaprob list
- D . probcpha -a if
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
You can use the cphaprob -a if command to check the status of the virtual cluster interface1. This command displays the state, virtual IP address, and physical IP address of each cluster interface2. It also shows the load balancing method, the load on each interface, and the active member for each interface2. This command can help you verify that Alice configured the virtual cluster interface correctly and that it is working properly. To run this command, you need to access the cluster member in Clish and run cphaprob -a if1.

Question #375
Which type of Endpoint Identity Agent includes packet tagging and computer authentication?
- A . Full
- B . Custom
- C . Light
- D . Complete
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
The type of Endpoint Identity Agent that includes packet tagging and computer authentication is Full. Packet tagging is a feature that allows the Endpoint Identity Agent to add a tag to the packets sent by the user’s device, which contains the user’s identity information. This way, the Security Gateway can identify the user without requiring additional authentication methods. Computer authentication is a feature that allows the Endpoint Identity Agent to authenticate the user’s device using a certificate, which ensures that only authorized devices can access the network resources. The Full Endpoint Identity Agent supports both packet tagging and computer authentication, as well as other features such as Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and VPN.

Question #376
Which two of these Check Point Protocols are used by SmartEvent Processes?
- A . ELA and CPD
- B . FWD and LEA
- C . FWD and CPLOG
- D . ELA and CPLOG
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
SmartEvent Processes use two Check Point Protocols: ELA (Event Log Agent) and CPLOG (Check Point Log). ELA collects logs from Security Gateways and forwards them to the Log Server. CPLOG is used by the Log Server to communicate with the SmartEvent Server.

Question #377
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
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
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 #379
What is considered Hybrid Emulation Mode?
- A . Manual configuration of file types on emulation location.
- B . Load sharing of emulation between an on premise appliance and the cloud.
- C . Load sharing between OS behavior and CPU Level emulation.
- D . High availability between the local SandBlast appliance and the cloud.
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
Hybrid Emulation Mode is a mode of operation that allows load sharing of emulation between an on premise appliance and the cloud. Emulation is a process that analyzes files for malicious behavior by running them in a virtual sandbox. Hybrid Emulation Mode enables you to optimize the performance and scalability of your Threat Emulation solution by distributing the emulation workload between your local SandBlast appliance and the Check Point cloud service.
