Checkpoint 156-315.81 Questions Answers

Each instance of VRRP running on a supported interface may monitor the link state of other interfaces. The monitored interfaces do not have to be running VRRP.

If a monitored interface loses its link state, then VRRP will decrement its priority over a VRID by the specified delta value and then will send out a new VRRP HELLO packet. If the new effective priority is less than the priority a backup platform has, then the backup platform will begin to send out its own HELLO packet.

Once the master sees this packet with a priority greater than its own, then it releases the VIP.

In SmartDashboard, Threat Prevention profiles can be assigned to one or more rules. This means that you can have multiple profiles assigned to a single gateway, and each of these profiles can be associated with one or more rules. This allows for granular control over threat prevention settings for different rules or scenarios.

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.

When John detects a high load on the sync interface, the recommended solution is to implement a delay in the sync process for short-lived connections like HTTP. Here's an explanation of each option:

A. Delaying the sync for 2 seconds for short connections like HTTP services is a common practice to reduce the load on the sync interface. This allows the interface to handle the incoming connections more effectively.

B. Adding a second interface to handle sync traffic might be a viable solution, but it can be more complex and costly compared to implementing a delay for short connections.

C. Not syncing short connections like HTTP services is not a recommended approach because it may lead to synchronization issues and potential data inconsistencies between cluster members.

D. Delaying the sync for ICMP (ping) services is not a common practice and may not effectively address the high load issue on the sync interface.

Therefore, option A is the most recommended solution as it addresses the issue by introducing a delay for short-lived connections, optimizing the sync process without causing synchronization problems.
