Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 237

Due to high CPU workload on the Security Gateway, the security administrator decided to purchase a new multicore CPU to replace the existing single core CPU.
After installation, is the administrator required to perform any additional tasks?

Answer options

• A. Run cprestart from clish
• B. After upgrading the hardware, increase the number of kernel instances using cpconfig
• C. Administrator does not need to perform any task. Check Point will make use of the newly installed CPU and Cores
• D. Hyperthreading must be enabled in the bios to use CoreXL

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because after upgrading to a multicore CPU, the administrator must adjust the number of kernel instances in cpconfig to utilize the additional cores effectively. Option A is incorrect as cprestart is not necessary for this task. Option C is false because the system does not automatically configure itself for new hardware. Option D is unrelated to the requirement of increasing kernel instances.
