Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 147

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because CoreXL allows for the same policy to be enforced across multiple cores for consistent performance. Option A is incorrect as CoreXL does not permit different policies per core. Option C misrepresents how the kernel operates, as it does not delete itself after a timeout, and option D is also incorrect since the kernel processes packets regardless of connection acceleration.
