Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 6

Tom has connected to the Management Server remotely using SmartConsole and is in the process of making some Rule Base changes, when he suddenly loses connectivity. Connectivity is restored shortly afterward. What will happen to the changes already made?

Answer options

• A. Tom will have to reboot his SmartConsole computer, clear the cache, and restore changes.
• B. Tom will have to reboot his SmartConsole computer, and access the Management cache store on that computer, which is only accessible after a reboot.
• C. Tom's changes will be lost since he lost connectivity and he will have to start again.
• D. Tom's changes will have been stored on the Management when he reconnects and he will not lose any of his work.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because SmartConsole is designed to save changes to the Management Server, even if the connection is temporarily lost. Options A, B, and C incorrectly suggest that Tom's changes would be lost or that he would need to perform unnecessary actions to recover them.
