Where is the “Hit Count” feature enabled or disabled in SmartConsole?
The 'Hit Count' feature is managed within the Global Properties in SmartConsole. Global Properties allow administrators to configure and apply settings that affect the overall security policy and management of Check Point products, including the enabling or disabling of Hit Count. This ensures that the feature is uniformly enforced across all relevant Security Gateways managed by the Security Management Server.
Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81.10 Guide (page 240): "For example, logging Implied rules, enabling Hit Count, and defining advanced VPN functions are all settings that are applied as Global Properties."
Answer is C https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81_SecurityManagement_AdminGuide/Topics-SECMG/Analyzing-the-Rule-Base-Hit-Count.htm
A is correct
A is definitely not correct. Hit Count can be configured (enabled or disabled) in Global Properties and on a Security Gateway object but not on a Policy Layer.
This is a trick question, the Hit Count is in the policy layer and yet it is enabled in the Global Properties. From the book included in the training class: Global Properties The Security Policy includes numerous settings that are primarily configured as Global Properties. These settings apply to a variety of Check Point products, services and functions, such as the Firewall, VPN and Reporting Tools. Settings configured as Global Properties are enforced by all Security Gateways managed by the Security Management Server. For example, logging Implied rules, enabling Hit Count, and defining advanced VPN functions are all settings that are applied as Global Properties.
Hit counts is enabled in global properties. In policy layer you can see/unsee the hitcount via ticking/unticking it but not enable it
Enabling or Disabling Hit Count By default, Hit Count is globally enabled for all supported Security Gateways. https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81_SecurityManagement_AdminGuide/Topics-SECMG/Analyzing-the-Rule-Base-Hit-Count.htm
correct, just tested it in a lab. the Hit Count is enabled/disabled under Global properties window.
