Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R82 — Question 1

What is the correct statement about requirement of a JSON configuration file when upgrading a Security Management / Log / SmartEvent Server using CPUSE?

Answer options

• A. A JSON configuration file is required to upgrade any Check Point device prior to R80.20 when upgrading to R82 or above release
• B. There is no such requirement of a JSON configuration file when using CPUSE. The CPUSE upgrade is completely automatic
• C. A JSON configuration file is required only if there is a change of IP address on an of the Security Management / Log / SmartEvent servers
• D. A JSON configuration is always required when upgrading a Security Management / Log / SmartEvent server to R82 or above release

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a JSON configuration file is only needed when there is an IP address change for the servers during the upgrade process. Options A and D incorrectly state that a JSON file is always required, which is not the case. Option B is incorrect as it dismisses the requirement for the JSON configuration file entirely.
