Which of the following is NOT an integral part of VPN communication within a network? 
 
A. VPN key 
B. VPN community 
C. VPN trust entities 
 
D. VPN domain 
 
Answer: A     
 
Explanation: 
VPN key (to not be confused with pre-shared key that is used for authentication). 
VPN trust entities, such as a Check Point Internal Certificate Authority (ICA). The ICA is part of the Check 
Point suite used for creating SIC trusted connection between Security Gateways, authenticating 
administrators and third party servers. The ICA provides certificates for internal Security Gateways and 
remote access clients which negotiate the VPN link. 
VPN Domain - A group of computers and networks connected to a VPN tunnel by one VPN gateway that 
handles encryption and protects the VPN Domain members. 
VPN Community - A named collection of VPN domains, each protected by a VPN gateway.

Question: 19 
   
Two administrators Dave and Jon both manage R80 Management as administrators for ABC Corp. Jon 
logged into the R80 Management and then shortly after Dave logged in to the same server. They are 
both in the Security Policies view. From the screenshots below, why does Dave not have the rule no.6 in 
his SmartConsole view even though Jon has it his in his SmartConsole view? 
 
 
A. Jon is currently editing rule no.6 but has Published part of his changes. 
B. Dave is currently editing rule no.6 and has marked this rule for deletion. 
C. Dave is currently editing rule no.6 and has deleted it from his Rule Base. 
D. Jon is currently editing rule no.6 but has not yet Published his changes. 
 
 
Answer: D     
 
Explanation: 
When an administrator logs in to the Security Management Server through SmartConsole, a new editing 
session starts. The changes that the administrator makes during the session are only available to that 
administrator. Other administrators see a lock icon on object and rules that are being edited. To make 
changes available to all administrators, and to unlock the objects and rules that are being edited, the 
administrator must publish the session. 
 
Question: 20 
   
Vanessa is firewall administrator in her company; her company is using Check Point firewalls on central 
and remote locations, which are managed centrally by R80 Security Management Server. One central 
location has an installed R77.30 Gateway on Open server. Remote location is using Check Point UTM-1 
570 series appliance with R71. Which encryption is used in Secure Internal Communication (SIC) 
between central management and firewall on each location? 
 
A. On central firewall AES128 encryption is used for SIC, on Remote firewall 3DES encryption is used for 
SIC. 
B. On both firewalls, the same encryption is used for SIC. This is AES-GCM-256. 
C. The Firewall Administrator can choose which encryption suite will be used by SIC. 
D. On central firewall AES256 encryption is used for SIC, on Remote firewall AES128 encryption is used 
for SIC. 
 
Answer: A     
 
Explanation: 
Gateways above R71 use AES128 for SIC. If one of the gateways is R71 or below, the gateways use 3DES.

Question: 22 
   
Which of the following is NOT a SecureXL traffic flow? 
 
A. Medium Path 
B. Accelerated Path 
C. Fast Path 
D. Slow Path 
 
Answer: C     
 
Explanation: 
SecureXL is an acceleration solution that maximizes performance of the Firewall and does not 
compromise security. When SecureXL is enabled on a Security Gateway, some CPU intensive operations 
 
are processed by virtualized software instead of the Firewall kernel. The Firewall can inspect and process 
connections more efficiently and accelerate throughput and connection rates. These are the SecureXL 
traffic flows: 
Slow path - Packets and connections that are inspected by the Firewall and are not processed by 
SecureXL. 
Accelerated path - Packets and connections that are offloaded to SecureXL and are not processed by the 
Firewall. 
Medium path - Packets that require deeper inspection cannot use the accelerated path. It is not 
necessary for the Firewall to inspect these packets, they can be offloaded and do not use the slow path. 
For example, packets that are inspected by IPS cannot use the accelerated path and can be offloaded to 
the IPS PSL (Passive Streaming Library). SecureXL processes these packets more quickly than packets on 
the slow path. 
 
Question: 23 
   
Which of the following Automatically Generated Rules NAT rules have the lowest implementation 
priority? 
 
A. Machine Hide NAT

Answer: B,C     
 
Explanation: 
SmartDashboard organizes the automatic NAT rules in this order: 
Static NAT rules for Firewall, or node (computer or server) objects 
Hide NAT rules for Firewall, or node objects 
Static NAT rules for network or address range objects 
Hide NAT rules for network or address range objects

B. Hiding your firewall from unauthorized users. 
C. Detecting people using false or wrong authentication logins
