Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81.20 — Question 106

You have a Gateway that is running with 2 cores. You plan to add a second gateway to build a cluster and used a device with 4 cores. How many cores can be used in a Cluster for Firewall-kernel on the new device?

Answer options

• A. 2
• B. 1
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the cluster can only use as many cores as the Gateway with the least number of cores, which in this case is 2. The other options (1, 3, and 4) either underestimate or overestimate the capacity based on the limitations of the original Gateway's core count.
