Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 305

After finishing installation admin John likes to use top command in expert mode. John has to set the expert-password and was able to use top command. A week later John has to use the top command again. He detected that the expert password is no longer valid. What is the most probable reason for this behavior?

Answer options

• A. changes are only possible via SmartConsole
• B. "save config" was not issued in expert mode
• C. "write memory" was not issued on clish
• D. "save config" was not issued on clish

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because failing to issue the 'save config' command in clish means that any changes made, including the expert password, would not be saved, thus becoming invalid after a reboot or session expiration. Options A, B, and C do not address the specific issue of saving the expert password configuration in clish, making them incorrect in this context.
