Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 110

Due to high CPU workload on the Security Gateway, the security administrator decided to purchase a new multicore CPU to replace the existing single core CPU.
After installation, is the administrator required to perform any additional tasks?

Answer options

• A. Go to clash-Run cpstop | Run cpstart
• B. Go to clash-Run cpconfig | Configure CoreXL to make use of the additional Cores | Exit cpconfig | Reboot Security Gateway
• C. Administrator does not need to perform any task. Check Point will make use of the newly installed CPU and Cores
• D. Go to clash-Run cpconfig | Configure CoreXL to make use of the additional Cores | Exit cpconfig | Reboot Security Gateway | Install Security Policy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because after installing a new multicore CPU, the administrator must configure CoreXL to take advantage of the additional cores. Option A is incorrect as it does not address CoreXL configuration, option C is wrong because manual configuration is necessary, and option D includes an unnecessary step of installing a Security Policy after rebooting.
