The main difference between Static NAT and Hide NAT is that Static NAT allows incoming and outgoing connections, while Hide NAT only allows outgoing connections4. Static NAT translates a single IP address to another single IP address, while Hide NAT translates a group of IP addresses to a single IP address. Static NAT is used to expose internal servers to external networks, while Hide NAT is used to hide internal hosts from external networks. References: Check Point R81 Firewall Administration Guide

 SecureID is the authentication method that requires token authenticator2. SecureID is a two-factor authentication method that uses a hardware or software token to generate a one-time password. The user must enter the token code along with their username and password to authenticate. References: Check Point R81 Identity Awareness Administration Guide

Central licensing is the preferred licensing model because it ties the package license to the IP-address of the Security Management Server and has no dependency on the gateway. This allows for easier management and distribution of licenses across multiple gateways1.

The port used for full synchronization between cluster members is TCP port 2654. This port is used by the Firewall Kernel to send and receive synchronization data, such as connection tables, NAT tables, and VPN keys4. UDP port 8116 is used by the Cluster Control Protocol (CCP) for internal communications between cluster members4. References: How does the Cluster Control Protocol function in working and failure scenarios for gateway clusters?

 Extended Log is a tracking option that enables administrators to see additional information about the traffic that matches a security rule, such as data type, file name, file size, etc. However, to see any data type information, Content Awareness must be enabled on the Security Gateway. Content Awareness is a blade that inspects files based on their type, size, name, and data. Content Awareness is required for Extended Log to work properly3.

The User Directory is used to obtain identification and security information about network users. It can be integrated with external user databases such as LDAP, RADIUS, or TACACS+. References: Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81.20 Course Overview, page 9.

When a certificate is revoked from a Security Gateway, the information is stored on the Certificate Revocation List (CRL). The CRL is maintained by the Internal Certificate Authority (ICA) and is checked during certificate validation processes.

Option A (Incorrect): The Security Management Server maintains certificate information but does not store revoked certificates permanently.

Option C (Incorrect): The Internal Certificate Authority manages certificate issuance but does not store revoked certificates—it publishes a CRL instead.

Option D (Incorrect): The Security Administrator does not receive direct notifications of revoked certificates.

Thus, the correct answer is B. Stored on the Certificate Revocation List.

The answer is C because inline layer can be defined as a rule action in a policy layer. Inline layer is a sub-policy that contains additional rules that are applied only if the parent rule matches. Ordered layer is a policy layer that contains rules that are applied in order, from top to bottom. One policy can be either inline or ordered, but not both. Pre-R80 Gateways do support ordered layers, but not inline layers5 References: Check Point R81 Policy Layers and Sub-Policies, [Check Point R81 Security Gateway Administration Guide]

Multiple administrators can connect to a Security Management Server at the same time, and each administrator has their own username and works in a session that is independent of other administrators1. This allows concurrent administration and prevents conflicts between different administrators. The other options are incorrect. Only one administrator can be connected is false. All administrators can modify a network object at the same time is false, as only one administrator can lock and edit an object at a time. Only one has the right to write is false, as all administrators have write permissions unless they are restricted by roles or permissions.

 In Logging and Monitoring, the tracking options are Log, Detailed Log and Extended Log. You can add Accounting and/or Suppression to each of these options1. Accounting enables you to track the amount of data that is sent or received by a specific rule. Suppression enables you to reduce the number of logs that are generated by a specific rule. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Accounting/Suppression. References: Logging and Monitoring Administration Guide R80 - Check Point Software
