Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 170

Steve is a Cyber Security Engineer working for Global Bank with a large scale deployment of Check Point Enterprise Appliances. Steve's manager, Diana, asks him to provide firewall connection table details from one of the firewalls for which he is responsible. Which of these commands may impact performance briefly and should not be used during heavy traffic times of day?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The command 'fw tab -t connections -f' is used to flush the connection table, which can lead to a temporary performance hit as it clears active sessions. The other commands, while they may provide information about the connection table, do not impact performance in the same way, making them safer to use during high traffic times.
