Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81.20 — Question 133

In CoreXL, the Firewall kernel is replicated multiple times. Each replicated copy or instance can perform the following:

Answer options

• A. The Firewall kernel only touches the packet if the connection is accelerated
• B. The Firewall kernel is replicated only with new connections and deletes itself once the connection times out
• C. The Firewall can run the same policy on all cores
• D. The Firewall can run different policies per core

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because CoreXL allows the Firewall to run the same security policy on all cores for efficiency. Options A and B misrepresent how the Firewall kernel interacts with connections, while D incorrectly suggests that different policies can be implemented per core, which is not how CoreXL operates.
