Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 15

NAT rules are prioritized in which order?
1. Automatic Static NAT
2. Automatic Hide NAT
3. Manual/Pre-Automatic NAT
4. Post-Automatic/Manual NAT rules

Answer options

• A. 1, 2, 3, 4
• B. 1, 4, 2, 3
• C. 3, 1, 2, 4
• D. 4, 3, 1, 2

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct prioritization of NAT rules starts with Manual/Pre-Automatic NAT, followed by Automatic Static NAT, then Automatic Hide NAT, and finally Post-Automatic/Manual NAT rules. Options A, B, and D do not reflect the correct order of rule execution, as they misplace the Manual/Pre-Automatic NAT at the beginning or end of the sequence.
