Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 85

After a new Log Server is added to the environment and the SIC trust has been established with the SMS what will the gateways do?

Answer options

• A. The gateways can only send logs to an SMS and cannot send logs to a Log Server. Log Servers are proprietary log archive servers.
• B. Gateways will send new firewall logs to the new Log Server as soon as the SIC trust is set up between the SMS and the new Log Server.
• C. The firewalls will detect the new Log Server after the next policy install and redirect the new logs to the new Log Server.
• D. Logs are not automatically forwarded to a new Log Server. SmartConsole must be used to manually configure each gateway to send its logs to the server.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because logs do not automatically redirect to a newly added Log Server; manual configuration through SmartConsole is necessary for each gateway. Option A is incorrect since gateways can send logs to both SMS and Log Servers. Option B is wrong as it suggests immediate log transmission, which is not the case. Option C is misleading because the new Log Server will not be detected until manual settings are adjusted.
