Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 171

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. 4
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because in a cluster setup, the total cores available for the Firewall-kernel is limited to the number of cores in the original Gateway, which is 2 in this case. The additional cores in the new device cannot be fully utilized for the cluster, as the cluster only uses the cores from the Gateway with the least number of cores.
