SmartEvent utilizes the Log Server, Correlation Unit and SmartEvent Server to aggregate logs and identify security events. The three main processes that govern these SmartEvent components are:

  • A. cpsemd, cpsead, and DBSync
  • B. cpcu, cplog, cpse
  • C. fwd, secu, sesrv
  • D. eventiasv, eventiarp,eventiacu

Answer: D

Explanation:
SmartEvent is a unified security event management and analysis solution that collects and analyzes data from multiple sources to identify and respond to security threats. SmartEvent consists of three main components: Log Server, Correlation Unit, and SmartEvent Server1. The three main processes that govern these SmartEvent components are:
eventiasv: This process is responsible for indexing the logs received from the Log Server and storing them in the SmartEvent database. It also performs log consolidation and compression to optimize the disk space usage2.
eventiarp: This process is responsible for running the predefined and custom correlation rules on the indexed logs and generating security events based on the rule criteria. It also sends notifications and triggers automatic responses for the security events3.
eventiacu: This process is responsible for providing the web-based user interface for SmartEvent, which allows the administrators to view, analyze, and manage the security events. It also provides the SmartEvent API for external integration4. Reference: Check Point Processes and Daemons5, SmartEvent Administration Guide1

NEW QUESTION # 56
You modified kernel parameters and after rebooting the gateway, a lot of production traffic gets dropped and the gateway acts strangely What should you do"?

  • A. run fw unloadlocal to remove parameters from kernel
  • B. Restore fwkem.conf from backup and reboot the gateway
  • C. Remove all kernel parameters from fwkem.conf and reboot
  • D. Run command fw ctl set int fw1_kernel_all_disable=1

Answer: B

Explanation:
If you have modified kernel parameters (in fwkern.conf, for example) and the gateway starts dropping traffic or behaving abnormally after a reboot, the best practice is to restore the original or a known-good configuration from backup. Then, reboot again so that the gateway loads the last known stable settings.
Option A (fw ctl set int fw1_kernel_all_disable=1) is not a standard or documented method for "undoing" all kernel tweaks.
Option B (Restore fwkem.conf from backup and reboot the gateway) is the correct and straightforward approach.
Option C (fw unloadlocal) removes the local policy but does not revert custom kernel parameters that have already been loaded at boot.
Option D (Remove all kernel parameters from fwkem.conf and reboot) might help in some cases, but you risk losing other beneficial or necessary parameters if there were legitimate custom settings. Restoring from a known-good backup is safer and more precise.
Hence, the best answer:
"Restore fwkem.conf from backup and reboot the gateway."

NEW QUESTION # 57
In Mobile Access VPN. clientless access is done using a web browser. The primary communication path for these browser based connections is a process that allows numerous processes to utilize port
443 and redirects traffic to a designated port of the respective process Which daemon handles this?

  • A. HTTPS Inspection Daemon (HID)
  • B. Multi-portal Daemon (MPD)
  • C. Mobile Access Daemon (MAD)
  • D. Connectra VPN Daemon (cvpnd)

Answer: B

Explanation:
The Multi-portal Daemon (mpdaemon) is responsible for handling the clientless access connections in Mobile Access VPN. It listens on port 443 and redirects the traffic to the appropriate port of the process that handles the specific connection type, such as cvpnd for SSL Network Extender, MAD for Mobile Access Portal, or HID for HTTPS Inspection. The mpdaemon also performs authentication and authorization for the clientless access connections. Reference: Check Point Processes and Daemons1, Mobile Access Blade Administration Guide

What is NOT a benefit of the 'fw ctl zdebug' command?

  • A. Clean the buffer
  • B. Collect debug messages from the kernel
  • C. Cannot be used to debug additional modules
  • D. Automatically allocate a 1MB buffer

Answer: C

Explanation:
The fw ctl zdebug command is a powerful tool that can be used to collect debug messages from the kernel, clean the buffer, and automatically allocate a 1MB buffer. However, it cannot be used to debug additional modules, such as SecureXL, CoreXL, or VPN. For those modules, other commands or tools are needed, such as fwaccel dbg, fw ctl affinity, or vpn debug.
