Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 63

You have a Gateway is running with 2 cores. You plan to add a second gateway to build a cluster and used a device with 4 cores.
How many cores can be used in a Cluster for Firewall-kernel on the new device?

Answer options

• A. 3
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. 4

Correct answer: B

Explanation

In a cluster, the total number of cores that can be utilized for the Firewall-kernel is limited by the gateway with the least number of cores. Since the existing gateway has 2 cores, the new device can only use 2 cores for the cluster, making option B the correct answer. The other options exceed this limit based on the available resources.
