Check Point Certified Cloud Specialist (CCCS) R82 — Question 30

You are running R80.XX on an open server and you see a high CPU utilization on your 12 CPU cores. You now want to enable Hyperthreading to get more cores to gain some performance. What is the correct way to achieve this?

Answer options

• A. Hyperthreading is not supported on open servers, on Check Point Appliances
• B. Just turn on HAT in the bios of the server and boot it
• C. Just turn on HAT in the bios of the server and after it was booted enable it in cpconfig
• D. in clish run set HAT on

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because enabling Hyperthreading requires you to first activate it in the BIOS and then enable it in the cpconfig utility after the server has rebooted. Option A is incorrect as it incorrectly states Hyperthreading is not supported, which is not the case for open servers. Option B is incomplete as it neglects the need to enable it in cpconfig, and option D is incorrect since Hyperthreading cannot be enabled directly from clish without prior BIOS configuration.
