Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 290

Which method below is NOT one of the ways to communicate using the Management API’s?

Answer options

• A. Sending API commands over an http connection using web-services
• B. Typing API commands from a dialog box inside the SmartConsole GUI application
• C. Typing API commands using Gaia’s secure shell (clish)
• D. Typing API commands using the “mgmt_cli” command

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because sending API commands over an http connection via web-services is not a method for communicating with the Management API. The other options describe valid methods: using the SmartConsole GUI, Gaia's secure shell, and the 'mgmt_cli' command are all recognized ways to send commands to the Management API.
