What is the name of the VPN kernel process?
The correct answer is VPNK. The VPN kernel process is responsible for handling VPN traffic functions within the firewall kernel, performing the actual encryption and decryption of traffic. The VPND process runs in user mode and handles negotiations and generation of Security Associations, which are then passed to the VPNK process for encryption and decryption.
I think the correct answer is D), the VPNK. This is because there are 2 main VPN proccesses, one for usermode (VPND) and other for the kernel (VPNK)
I agree with you, since the question is about the process, and VPNK is designated as a module in CCTE R80.* book, but there is no mention of it in CCTE R81.20
D CCTE Manual p.361 "The VPN Kernel module, VPNK, handles VPN traffic functions within the Firewall kernel. IPSec negotiations, which are handled by the VPND user mode process, generate Security Associations (SAs). These associations are then passed on to th e VPNK process, which will perform the actual encryption and decryption of traffic."
