Which of the following CLI commands is best to use for getting a quick look at appliance performance
information in Gaia?
C
Explanation:
The cpview command in Gaia provides a real-time, comprehensive view of the system’s performance
metrics, including CPU usage, memory utilization, and network statistics. This makes it the best
choice for quickly assessing the performance of a Check Point appliance. Other commands like fw
stat and fw monitor are more focused on firewall statistics and traffic monitoring, respectively.
cphaprob stat is used for High Availability status checks, not general performance metrics.
You want to work with a license for your gateway in User Center portal, but all options are greyed
out. What is the reason?
C
Explanation:
When all licensing options are greyed out in the User Center portal, it typically indicates that the user
does not have the necessary permissions to manage licenses. Specifically, the user might not be
defined as a Support Contact, which is required to perform licensing actions. Being a Viewer or
Licenser does not grant full access to manage licenses, and having no rights would also restrict
access, but the most precise reason in this context is the lack of a Support Contact definition.
What is the process of intercepting and logging traffic?
D
Explanation:
Packet capturing involves intercepting and logging network traffic as it traverses the network. Tools
like fw monitor and tcpdump are commonly used for this purpose in Check Point environments.
While logging (Option C) refers to recording events, packet capturing specifically deals with the
interception and detailed logging of network packets for analysis.
Which of the following is NOT an account user classification?
A
Explanation:
In Check Point's user classification for the User Center portal, typical roles include Manager, Viewer,
and Administrator. "Licensers" is not a standard user classification. Instead, licensing roles are usually
managed under broader administrative categories. Therefore, "Licensers" is not recognized as a
distinct user classification.
You want to collect diagnostics data to include with an SR (Service Request). What command or
utility best meets your needs?
B
Explanation:
The cpinfo command is designed to collect comprehensive diagnostic information from a Check Point
gateway or management server. This data is essential when submitting a Service Request (SR) to
Check Point Support, as it includes configuration details, logs, and system information. cpconfig is
used for configuration, cpplic manages licenses, and contracts_mgmt handles contract management,
none of which are specifically tailored for collecting diagnostic data for SRs.
During a problem isolation with the OSI model, what layer will you investigate when the issue is ARP
or MAC address?
B
Explanation:
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and MAC (Media Access Control) addresses operate at Layer 2 of
the OSI model, which is the Data Link Layer. This layer is responsible for node-to-node data transfer
and handling MAC addressing. Issues with ARP or MAC addresses indicate problems at this specific
layer, necessitating an investigation into Layer 2.
Check Point's self-service knowledge base of technical documents and tools covers everything from
articles describing how to fix specific issues, understand error messages and to how to plan and
perform product installation and upgrades. This knowledge base is called:
D
Explanation:
Check Point's self-service knowledge base is known as SecureKnowledge. It provides a
comprehensive repository of technical documents, guides, troubleshooting steps, and tools
necessary for managing and resolving issues related to Check Point products. The other options listed
are either incorrect or do not represent the official name of Check Point's knowledge base.
Which of the following System Monitoring Commands (Linux) shows process resource utilization, as
well as CPU and memory utilization?
D
Explanation:
The top command in Linux provides a real-time, dynamic view of system processes, showing CPU and
memory usage among other metrics. It is the most suitable command for monitoring process
resource utilization continuously. In contrast, df displays disk space usage, free shows memory
usage, and ps provides a snapshot of current processes but without the dynamic, real-time
monitoring that top offers.
What file extension should be used with fw monitor to allow the output file to be imported and read
in Wireshark?
C
Explanation:
The .cap file extension is commonly used for packet capture files that can be imported and analyzed
in Wireshark. When using fw monitor, specifying the output file with a .cap extension ensures
compatibility with Wireshark for detailed packet analysis. Other extensions like .exe and .tgz are not
suitable for packet captures, and .pea is not a standard extension for this purpose.
How many different types of Service Requests exist?
A
Explanation:
Check Point categorizes Service Requests (SRs) into four main types: Technical Support, Product
Enhancement, Billing and Licensing, and Other Services. Each type caters to different aspects of
customer needs, ensuring that users can address a wide range of issues and requests through the
appropriate channels.
When opening a new Service Request, what feature is in place to help guide you through the
process?
C
Explanation:
When opening a new Service Request (SR) in Check Point's User Center portal, an SR wizard guides
users through the process. This wizard assists in collecting necessary information, categorizing the
request appropriately, and ensuring that all required details are provided to expedite the resolution
process. The SR wizard simplifies the SR creation process, making it more user-friendly and efficient.
Which of the following is NOT a way to insert fw monitor into the chain when troubleshooting
packets throughout the chain?
D
Explanation:
When using fw monitor for packet capture in Check Point environments, packets can be monitored at
various points in the inspection chain. The insertion methods include specifying a relative position
using an identifier (id), using an absolute position, or specifying the position based on location within
the chain. However, using an alias to determine the relative position is not a recognized method for
inserting fw monitor into the inspection chain.
Which Layer of the OSI Model is responsible for routing?
A
Explanation:
Routing decisions are made at the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model. This layer is responsible
for determining the best path for data packets to travel from the source to the destination across
multiple networks. Protocols like IP (Internet Protocol) operate at this layer, handling addressing and
routing functions essential for network communication.
Which is the correct "fw monitor" syntax for creating a capture file for loading it into Wireshark?
D
Explanation:
The correct syntax for using fw monitor to create a capture file compatible with Wireshark involves
specifying the filter expression and the output file with the .cap extension. Option D correctly uses
the -e flag for the filter expression and the -file flag to specify the output file, ensuring the captured
data can be seamlessly imported into Wireshark for analysis.
What is the most efficient way to view large fw monitor captures and run filters on the file?
D
Explanation:
Wireshark is the most efficient tool for viewing large fw monitor capture files. It provides powerful
filtering capabilities, a user-friendly interface, and detailed packet analysis features that make
handling large datasets manageable. While CLI tools like snoop and fw monitor offer basic packet
viewing, they lack the advanced filtering and visualization options that Wireshark provides.
