Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 249

The `Hit count` feature allows tracking the number of connections that each rule matches. Will the Hit count feature work independently from logging and Track the hits if the Track option is set to `None`?

Answer options

• A. No, it will work independently. Hit Count will be shown only for rules Track option set as Log or alert.
• B. Yes it will work independently as long as ג€analyze all rulesג€ tick box is enabled on the Security Gateway.
• C. No, it will not work independently because hit count requires all rules to be logged.
• D. Yes it will work independently because when you enable Hit Count, the SMS collects the data from supported Security Gateways.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enabling the Hit Count feature allows the Security Management Server to gather statistics from compatible Security Gateways, regardless of the Track option's setting. The other options incorrectly state that hit count relies on logging or the Track option being set to Log or alert, which is not the case.
