SmartView Monitor is a GUI client that is supported in R81. It allows you to monitor the network and security performance of your Security Gateways and devices5. You can use it to view real-time statistics, alerts, logs, reports, and graphs6. The other GUI clients are not supported in R81 because:

• A. SmartProvisioning was replaced by SmartLSM in R80.20 and later versions7. SmartLSM is a unified solution for managing large-scale deployments of Security Gateways8.
• B. SmartView Tracker was replaced by SmartLog in R80 and later versions9. SmartLog is a powerful log analysis tool that enables fast and easy access to log data from multiple Security Gateways10.
• D. SmartLog is not a GUI client, but a web-based application that runs on the Security Management Server or Log Server10. You can access it from any web browser or from SmartConsole.

VPN Link Selection is a feature that allows the Security Gateway to select the best link for each VPN tunnel based on the network topology and the Link Selection configuration1. When the primary VPN link goes down, the Firewall can update the Link Selection entries to start using a different link for the same tunnel, as long as the remote peer supports this feature and has multiple IP addresses configured2. This way, the VPN tunnel can be maintained without interruption or renegotiation. The other options are not correct because:

Firewall

• A. The Firewall will not drop the packets, but will try to send them over another link if possible.

Firewall

• C. The Firewall will not send out the packet on all interfaces, but will use the routing table to determine the best interface for each destination.

Firewall

• D. The Firewall will not inform the client that the tunnel is down, but will try to keep the tunnel up by switching to another link.

Automation and Orchestration differ in that automation relates to codifying tasks, whereas orchestration relates to codifying processes. Automation is the process of converting manual tasks into executable scripts or programs that can be run by machines or software agents. Orchestration is the process of coordinating multiple automated tasks into a coherent workflow that achieves a desired outcome or goal. Orchestration can also involve integrating different systems, tools, and services through web service interactions such as XML and JSON.

The FWD daemon uses TCP port 256 to do a Full Synchronization between gateway cluster members. This port is also used for other synchronization types, such as Delta Synchronization and Accelerated Synchronization. The FWD daemon is responsible for synchronizing the connections table, NAT table, and VPN keys between cluster members.

 User-mode processes are processes that run in the user space of the operating system, as opposed to kernel-mode processes that run in the kernel space. User-mode processes are usually less privileged and have less access to system resources than kernel-mode processes. Check Point products use both user-mode and kernel-mode processes to provide various functionalities and services.

The following are some of the user-mode processes that can be seen on the management server and gateway:

• fwd: This process is responsible for policy installation, logging, and communication with other Check Point components. It runs on both the management server and gateway.
• cpd: This process is responsible for licensing, certificate management, and communication with SmartConsole. It runs on both the management server and gateway.
• cpwd: This process is responsible for monitoring and restarting other processes. It runs on both the management server and gateway.

The following is a user-mode process that can only be seen on the management server:

• fwm: This process is responsible for managing the security policy database, compiling the security policy, and generating reports. It runs only on the management server.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

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.

The Access Control policy supports two policy layers. These are the Network layer and the Application & URL Filtering layer. The Network layer contains rules that control the network traffic based on the source, destination, service, and action. The Application & URL Filtering layer contains rules that control the application and web access based on the application, site category, and user identity12.

The Access Control policy can also use inline layers, which are sub-policies that are embedded within a rule. Inline layers allow more granular control over specific traffic or scenarios, such as VPN, Mobile Access, or different user groups13. However, inline layers are not considered as separate policy layers, but rather as extensions of the parent rule4.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. The Access Control policy supports two policy layers.

 According to the Check Point website, SmartEvent Maps is a feature that was supported in previous versions of SmartEvent, but is not supported in R81. SmartEvent Maps displayed a graphical representation of security events on a world map. The other options are either supported or not valid features in R81. References: SmartEvent Maps
