Check Point Certified Multi-Domain Security Management Specialist (CCMS) — Question 56

You run a free-command on a gateway and notice that the Swap column is not zero. Choose the best answer.

Answer options

• A. Utilization of ram is high and swap file had to be used.
• B. Swap file is used regularly because RAM memory is reserved for management traffic.
• C. Swap memory is used for heavy connections when RAM memory is full.
• D. Its ok. Swap is used to increase performance.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a non-zero Swap indicates that RAM usage is high, necessitating the use of swap space. Option B is incorrect as it suggests swap is used due to management traffic, which doesn't directly relate to RAM utilization. Option C misrepresents the function of swap, implying it's used only when RAM is full, rather than reflecting high RAM usage. Option D incorrectly states that swap usage is always acceptable for performance.
