Question 1 of 536

Which of the following is NOT an integral part of VPN communication within a network?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

VPN keys are critical for encryption and ensuring secure communication. VPN domains are groups of networks connected by a VPN tunnel. VPN communities are collections of VPN domains managed by VPN gateways. 'VPN trust entities' is not a standard term in the context of VPN communication; therefore, it is not an integral part of VPN communication within a network.

Question 2 of 536

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?

Exam 156-215.80: Question 2 - Image 1
Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

When an administrator logs in to the Security Management Server through SmartConsole, a new editing session starts. The changes that one administrator makes during the session are only visible to that admin until they publish the changes. This means other administrators will not see the changes until they are published. In this case, since Jon has the rule visible and Dave does not, it indicates that Jon has made changes that have not yet been published. Therefore, Jon is currently editing rule no.6 but has not yet published his changes, which explains why Dave cannot see it.

Question 3 of 536

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?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

Secure Internal Communication (SIC) between Check Point management and firewall gateways utilizes different encryption methods depending on the software version. For gateways running R71 or lower, 3DES encryption is used. For gateways running versions higher than R71, AES128 is used. In this scenario, the central location is using an R77.30 Gateway, which would use AES128. The remote location is using an R71 gateway, which would use 3DES. Therefore, the central firewall uses AES128 encryption for SIC, and the remote firewall uses 3DES encryption for SIC.

Question 4 of 536

Review the following screenshot and select the BEST answer.

Exam 156-215.80: Question 4 - Image 1
Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

If a connection is dropped in the Network Layer, it will not be matched against the rules in the Data Center Layer. When a rule is matched and the action is set to Drop, the processing stops, and the packet is dropped immediately. No further rules from subsequent layers, such as the Data Center Layer, will be evaluated. This is standard behavior in multi-layered security policies to ensure efficiency and security.

Question 5 of 536

Which of the following is NOT a SecureXL traffic flow?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

SecureXL is an acceleration solution that improves the performance of the Firewall without compromising security. When SecureXL is enabled, some CPU-intensive operations are processed by virtualized software instead of the Firewall kernel, allowing for more efficient inspection and processing of connections. The SecureXL traffic flows include: Slow path, Accelerated path, and Medium path. The Slow path refers to packets and connections inspected by the Firewall and not processed by SecureXL. The Accelerated path involves packets and connections offloaded to SecureXL and not processed by the Firewall. The Medium path is for packets requiring deeper inspection that cannot use the accelerated path but are offloaded and do not use the slow path. 'High Priority Path' is not a recognized traffic flow in SecureXL, making it the correct answer.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
