You are working with multiple Security Gateways enforcing an extensive number of rules. To simplify security administration, which action would you choose?

  1. Eliminate all possible contradictory rules such as the Stealth or Cleanup rules.
  2. Create a separate Security Policy package for each remote Security Gateway.
  3. Create network objects that restricts all applicable rules to only certain networks.
  4. Run separate SmartConsole instances to login and configure each Security Gateway directly.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To simplify security administration when working with multiple Security Gateways enforcing an extensive number of rules, you would choose to create a separate Security Policy package for each remote Security Gateway. A Security Policy package is a set of rules and objects that can be assigned to one or more Security Gateways. This allows you to manage different policies for different gateways from the same Management Server1. The other options are either not effective or not feasible for simplifying security administration.

What is the correct command to observe the Sync traffic in a VRRP environment?

  1. fw monitor ­e "accept[12:4,b]=224.0.0.18;"
  2. fw monitor ­e "accept port(6118;"
  3. fw monitor ­e "accept proto=mcVRRP;"
  4. fw monitor ­e "accept dst=224.0.0.18;"

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The correct command to observe the Sync traffic in a VRRP environment is fw monitor ­e "accept dst=224.0.0.18;". This command captures the packets that have the destination IP address of 224.0.0.18, which is the multicast address used by VRRP for synchronization. The other commands are either not valid or not specific to VRRP Sync traffic.

What has to be taken into consideration when configuring Management HA?

  1. The Database revisions will not be synchronized between the management servers
  2. SmartConsole must be closed prior to synchronized changes in the objects database
  3. If you wanted to use Full Connectivity Upgrade, you must change the Implied Rules to allow FW1_cpredundant to pass before the Firewall Control Connections.
  4. For Management Server synchronization, only External Virtual Switches are supported. So, if you wanted to employ Virtual Routers instead, you have to reconsider your design.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When configuring Management HA, you have to take into consideration that the Database revisions will not be synchronized between the management servers. Database revisions are snapshots of the database that are created manually or automatically when installing a policy or saving changes. They are stored locally on each management server and are not replicated by Management HA. The other options are either not true or not relevant to Management HA.

What is the difference between an event and a log?

  1. Events are generated at gateway according to Event Policy
  2. A log entry becomes an event when it matches any rule defined in Event Policy
  3. Events are collected with SmartWorkflow form Trouble Ticket systems
  4. Log and Events are synonyms

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The difference between an event and a log is that a log entry becomes an event when it matches any rule defined in Event Policy. A log entry is a record of a network activity that is generated by a Security Gateway or a Management Server. An event is a log entry that meets certain criteria and triggers an action or a notification. The other options are either not true or not accurate definitions of events and logs.
