Checkpoint 156-215.81 - Check Point Certified Security Administrator R81.20 CCSA (156-215.81.20)

 src:192.168.1.1 AND dst:172.26.1.1 AND action:Drop is the correct log query to show only dropped packets with source address of 192.168.1.1 and destination address of 172.26.1.1. The AND operator means that all conditions must be true for the query to match. The OR operator means that any condition can be true for the query to match3. The other queries will either show packets that are not dropped or packets that have different source or destination addresses.

The two Identity Awareness daemons that are used to support identity sharing are Policy Decision Point (PDP) and Policy Enforcement Point (PEP). PDP is a daemon that runs on the Security Management Server or a dedicated Identity Awareness Server and provides identity information to other components. PEP is a daemon that runs on the Security Gateway and enforces identity-based rules based on the information received from the PDP. Identity sharing is a feature that allows PDPs and PEPs to exchange identity information across different domains or networks. References: [Check Point R81 Identity Awareness Administration Guide]

 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

With URL Filtering, only the host portion of the URL is sent to the Check Point Online Web Service for analysis. The host portion is the part of the URL that identifies the web server, such as www.example.com.  The Check Point Online Web Service uses this information to categorize the URL and return the appropriate action to the Security Gateway3. The other options are not sent to the Check Point Online Web Service for analysis, as they may contain sensitive or irrelevant data.

You should generate new licenses when the existing license expires, license is upgraded or the IP-address where the license is tied changes13. These scenarios require a new license to be generated and activated on the Security Gateway or Management Server13. Therefore, the correct answer is C. When the existing license expires, license is upgraded or the IP-address where the license is tied changes

Each cluster, at a minimum, should have at least three interfaces4. These are:

A sync interface for synchronizing state information between cluster members.

A cluster interface for sending and receiving cluster control packets.

A production interface for handling regular traffic that passes through the cluster4. References: Check Point R80.20 – How to configure Cluster firewalls – First Time Setup

When dealing with rule base layers, two layer types can be utilized: Ordered Layers and Inline Layers5. Ordered Layers are executed sequentially according to their order in the policy. Inline Layers are embedded in a parent layer and are executed only if the parent rule matches.

The BEST method to deploy Identity Awareness for roaming users is to use identity agents, which are software components installed on endpoints that provide user and machine identity information to the Security Gateway45. Identity agents are more secure and reliable than other methods, as they do not require network changes or user interaction4. Office Mode, sharing user identities between gateways, and using captive portal are not methods to deploy Identity Awareness, but rather features or options that can be used with Identity Awareness46.

Multi-domain management server is a valid deployment option for R81, not R80. R80 supports multi-domain security management, which is a centralized management solution for large-scale, distributed environments with many different domain networks1.

Check Point provides an Automatic Licensing and Verification tool that ensures licenses are properly validated. This tool:

Automatically checks current licenses against Check Point's online license repository.

Activates newly added licenses.

Ensures compliance with active contracts.

Option B (incorrect): "Verification licensing" is not an official Check Point feature.

Option C (incorrect): "Verification tool" is too generic and does not refer to Check Point’s licensing system.

Option D (incorrect): "Automatic licensing" does not fully describe the verification and activation process.

Thus, the correct answer is A. Automatic Licensing and Verification tool.
