The correct method that is NOT used to communicate using the Management API's is invoking commands using Gaia's secure shell (clish). The Management API is typically used through graphical user interfaces such as SmartConsole, command-line interfaces like mgmt_cli, and web-services using HTTP (more accurately HTTPS for security). The use of clish, which is used for configuring Gaia operating systems, is not a method for interacting with the Management APIs.
To check the status of SecureXL and its enabled templates and features, the correct command is 'fwaccel stat'. This command provides comprehensive information about SecureXL's status and the features that are enabled. It is the standard command used for this purpose in the Check Point firewall system.
SSL Network Extender (SNX) operates in two modes: Network and Application. In Network mode, users can access all native IP-based and web-based applications within the internal network. In Application mode, users can access most native IP-based and web-based applications, including most TCP applications. These modes facilitate access based on the user's installation privileges and the types of applications being accessed.
The command that would disable a Cluster Member permanently includes the '-p' flag, which stands for 'permanent'. The correct command is 'clusterXL_admin down -p'. This syntax ensures that the Critical Device called 'admin_down' will be added to the configuration file so that the cluster member remains down even after a reboot.
SmartEvent processes use the FWD protocol for receiving logs and the LEA protocol for reading logs from the Log Server. FWD is responsible for forwarding logs from security gateways to the log server, and LEA (Log Export API) is used to access these logs for analysis and event correlation. Thus, the correct answer is FWD and LEA.
