 You can select the file types that are sent for emulation for all the Threat Prevention profiles. Each profile defines an Inspect or Bypass action for the file types. The Inspect action means that the file will be sent to the Threat Emulation engine for analysis, and the Bypass action means that the file will not be sent and will be allowed or blocked based on other Threat Prevention blades1. The other options are not valid actions for file types in Threat Prevention profiles. References: Check Point R81 Threat Prevention Administration Guide

The CPM process is the core process of the Security Management Server that handles all management operations. It listens to TCP-port 19009 by default. References: CPM process

 In R81, IPS is managed by the Threat Prevention Policy. The Threat Prevention Policy is a unified policy that allows you to configure and enforce IPS, Anti-Bot, Anti-Virus, Threat Emulation, and Threat Extraction settings in one place. References: Threat Prevention Administration Guide

The Audit Log is a feature that records all the actions performed by R81 SmartConsole administrators, such as logging in, logging out, publishing, installing policy, creating objects, modifying rules, etc. You can see and search records of action done by R81 SmartConsole administrators by following these steps:

• In SmartConsole, go to Logs & Monitor view.
• In the left pane, select Open Audit Log View.
• In the right pane, you will see a table that shows all the audit log records. You can filter, sort, group, or search the records by using the toolbar options.
• You can also double-click on a record to see more details in a pop-up window. References: R81 Logging and Monitoring Administration Guide

 The host having a Critical event found by Anti-Bot should be remediated first, as it indicates that the host is infected by a botnet malware that is communicating with a Command and Control server. This poses a serious threat to the network security and data integrity. The other events may indicate potential malware infection or attack attempts, but not necessarily successful ones. References: Threat Prevention Administration Guide

 Dynamic Dispatcher is a feature that optimizes the performance of Security Gateways with multiple CPU cores by dynamically allocating traffic to different cores based on their load and priority. Firewall Priority Queues is a feature that prioritizes traffic based on its type and importance by assigning it to different queues with different weights and limits. To fully enable Dynamic Dispatcher with Firewall Priority Queues on a Security Gateway, you need to run the following command in Expert mode then reboot:

This command sets the multi-core mode to 9, which means that Dynamic Dispatcher is enabled with Firewall Priority Queues. The other commands are not valid or do not enable both features. References: R81 Performance Tuning Administration Guide

 TACACS+ is not an authentication method that is used for Mobile Access. Mobile Access supports the following authentication methods: username and password (internal, LDAP, or RADIUS), certificate, SecurID, DynamicID, and SMS2. TACACS+ is a protocol that provides access control for routers, network access servers, and other network devices, but it is not supported by Mobile Access3. References: Check Point R81 Mobile Access Administration Guide, TACACS+ - Wikipedia

The least amount of CPU cores required to enable CoreXL is 2. CoreXL is a technology that improves the performance of Security Gateways by using multiple CPU cores to process traffic in parallel. CoreXL requires at least two CPU cores, one for SND (Secure Network Distributor) and one for a Firewall instance. The other options are either too few or too many CPU cores for enabling CoreXL.

 SSL Network Extender (SNX) has two modes of operation: Network Mode and Application Mode. Network Mode provides full network connectivity to the remote user, while Application Mode provides access to specific applications on the corporate network. References: [SSL Network Extender]

 Sticky Decision Function (SDF) is required to prevent asymmetric routing in an Active-Active cluster. Asymmetric routing occurs when packets from a source to a destination follow a different path than packets from the destination to the source. This can cause problems with stateful inspection and NAT. SDF ensures that packets from the same connection are handled by the same cluster member1.

PDP is not a valid CPVIEW view. CPVIEW is a command-line tool that shows the status of different system parameters, such as CPU, memory, disk, network, and firewall. The valid views are IDA, RAD, VPN, FW, QoS, and others. PDP is a process that handles identity awareness and authentication.

To fully enable Dynamic Dispatcher on a Security Gateway, you need to run the following command in Expert mode then reboot:

This command sets the multi-core mode to 9, which means that Dynamic Dispatcher is enabled without Firewall Priority Queues. Dynamic Dispatcher is a feature that optimizes the performance of Security Gateways with multiple CPU cores by dynamically allocating traffic to different cores based on their load and priority. Dynamic Dispatcher can improve the throughput and scalability of the Security Gateway, especially for traffic that is not accelerated by SecureXL. The other commands are not valid or do not enable Dynamic Dispatcher. References: R81 Performance Tuning Administration Guide

The cphaconf set_ccp multicast command is used to set the Cluster Control Protocol (CCP) to Multicast mode. This mode allows cluster members to communicate with each other using multicast packets. The other commands are either incorrect or set the CCP to Broadcast mode. References: ClusterXL Administration Guide

 fwssd is a child process of fwd, which is the firewall daemon that handles policy installation, logging, and state synchronization. cpwd is the watchdog process that monitors and restarts other processes. fwm is the management server process that handles communication with GUI clients. cpd is the infrastructure daemon that handles SIC, licensing, and policy code generation.

In R81, spoofing is defined as a method of making packets appear as if they come from an authorized IP address. Spoofing can be used by attackers to bypass security policies or hide their identity. Check Point firewalls use anti-spoofing mechanisms to prevent spoofed packets from entering or leaving the network. References: Security Gateway R81 Administration Guide:
