Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 47

One of major features in R80 SmartConsole is concurrent administration.
Which of the following is NOT possible considering that AdminA, AdminB and AdminC are editing the same Security Policy?

Answer options

• A. A lock icon shows that a rule or an object is locked and will be available.
• B. AdminA and AdminB are editing the same rule at the same time.
• C. A lock icon next to a rule informs that any Administrator is working on this particular rule.
• D. AdminA, AdminB and AdminC are editing three different rules at the same time.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because concurrent editing of the same rule by AdminA and AdminB is not allowed; one of them will be locked out until the other finishes. Options A, C, and D are all valid scenarios that can occur in the concurrent administration setup, as they describe how the locking mechanism works and how multiple administrators can work on different rules without conflict.
