CheckPoint 156-582 Check Point Certified Troubleshooting Administrator - R81.20 CCTA Exam Practice Test

Answer : A

To verify Smart Contracts on a Security Gateway, the cpconfig and contracts_mgmt commands are used.

cpconfig: Allows configuration and verification of various Check Point settings, including licensing and contract details.

contracts_mgmt: Specifically manages and verifies contract information, ensuring that the correct licenses and contracts are in place for the deployed security features.

These commands are essential for ensuring that the Security Gateway has the necessary contracts to enforce security policies effectively.

Answer : C

In SmartConsole, when accessing the License Status, the following information is available:

Blade Name: Identifies the specific security blade the license pertains to.

Expiration Date: Indicates when the license will expire.

Attached to: Shows which device or component the license is attached to.

Status: Reflects the current state of the license (e.g., active, expired).

This information helps administrators monitor and manage their licenses effectively, ensuring that all security features remain operational.

Answer : A

Check Point offers several types of licenses to cater to different customer needs:

Evaluation: Short-term licenses for testing and evaluation purposes.

Perpetual: Licenses that are valid indefinitely, typically involving a one-time purchase.

Trial: Temporary licenses that allow full functionality for a limited period.

Subscription: Licenses that are valid for a specific duration (e.g., annual) and require renewal.

These licensing options provide flexibility for organizations to choose based on their operational requirements and budget constraints.

Answer : D

When a contract file expires or is missing, the existing protection settings continue to display in SmartConsole but are no longer enforced by the Security Gateway. This means that while the administrative interface still shows the security configurations, the actual enforcement of those policies is halted, potentially leaving the network vulnerable until the contract is renewed or replaced.

Answer : C

The NGTX (Next Generation Threat Prevention and Extraction) Software Blade Package includes advanced security features like CDR (Content Disarm & Reconstruction) and Zero Day Protection. This package enhances the security posture by disarming potentially malicious content and protecting against newly discovered threats that exploit unknown vulnerabilities.

Answer : C

(Note: The provided multiple-choice options for this question appear to be incomplete or incorrect. The best practice and commonly recommended alternative to tcpdump on Check Point to reduce CPU usage is cppcap. If we assume option 'C' corresponds to using cppcap, we select that.)

Given the context, the correct answer is C, assuming it refers to cppcap. cppcap is optimized for packet capturing in Check Point environments and is less CPU-intensive compared to tcpdump.

Answer : A

The cpstat command is a versatile tool provided by Check Point to display status and statistics for various Check Point products and applications. It offers insights into system performance, service statuses, and resource utilization, which are essential for diagnosing and resolving issues effectively.
