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

The commands you could use to set the IP to 192.168.80.200/24 and default gateway to 192.168.80.1 after the initial installation on Check Point appliance are:

set interface Mgmt ipv4-address 192.168.80.200 mask-length 24. This command sets the IPv4 address and subnet mask of the Management interface.

set static-route default nexthop gateway address 192.168.80.1 on. This command sets the default gateway for IPv4 routing.

save config. This command saves the configuration changes.

The three types of UserCheck messages are inform, ask, and block. Inform messages notify users about security events and do not require any user action. Ask messages prompt users to choose whether to allow or block an action. Block messages prevent users from performing an action and display a reason1.

 The answer is A because Identity Awareness commands are used to support identity sharing between Security Gateways. Policy Decision Point (PDP) is the Security Gateway that collects identities from various sources and shares them with other gateways. Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) is the Security Gateway that enforces the policy based on the identities received from the PDP12 References: Check Point R81 Identity Awareness Administration Guide, Check Point R81 Security Management Administration Guide

The Status Attention means that at least one Software Blade has a minor issue, but the gateway works1. For example, this could indicate a license expiration warning, a policy installation failure, or a blade activation problem2.

SmartConsole provides a consolidated solution for everything that is necessary for the security of an organization, such as Security Policy Management and Log Analysis. Security Policy Management is the process of defining and enforcing rules that control the access and protection of network resources. Log Analysis is the process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting on log data that is generated by network devices and applications. SmartConsole is a unified graphical user interface that allows administrators to manage multiple security functions from a single console. The other options are not part of SmartConsole, but rather separate software blades or features that can be integrated with SmartConsole. 

The position of an implied rule is manipulated in the Global Properties window. Implied rules are predefined rules that are not displayed in the rule base. They allow or block traffic for essential services such as communication with Check Point servers, logging, and VPN traffic. The position of an implied rule can be changed in the Global Properties > Firewall > Implied Rules section56.

 The correct answer is B because after installing a new multicore CPU, the administrator needs to configure CoreXL to make use of the additional cores and reboot the Security Gateway. Installing the Security Policy is not necessary because it does not affect the CoreXL configuration1.

The answer is A because the graphic shows the properties of a personal .p12 certificate file issued for user John. A .p12 file is a file format that contains a user’s private key and public key certificate. The graphic shows that the certificate file is valid and has an expiration date of 07-Apr-2018. The graphic also shows that the certificate file is issued by an internal CA, which is a Check Point component that manages certificates for users and gateways.References: Check Point R81 Certificate Management, Check Point R81 Internal CA

The main difference between Static NAT and Hide NAT is that Static NAT allows incoming and outgoing connections, while Hide NAT only allows outgoing connections4. Static NAT translates a single IP address to another single IP address, while Hide NAT translates a group of IP addresses to a single IP address. Static NAT is used to expose internal servers to external networks, while Hide NAT is used to hide internal hosts from external networks. References: Check Point R81 Firewall Administration Guide

 A Security Policy is created in SmartConsole, stored in the Security Management Server, and distributed to the various Security Gateways. SmartConsole is a graphical user interface that allows administrators to create and edit security policies. The Security Management Server is a central server that stores and manages the security policies. The Security Gateways are devices that enforce the security policies on the network traffic.
