Check Point Certified Multi-Domain Security Management Specialist (CCMS) — Question 8

You run cpwd_admin list on a Security Gateway and notice that the CPM process is not listed. Select best answer?

Answer options

• A. The output is different between gateway and Management server.
• B. CPM is not running and can’t be monitored by watch dog.
• C. If you want to monitor CPM you have to manually add it to watch dog.
• D. CPM is not there because it has own monitoring system. Only lower processes are monitored by watch dog.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the output of cpwd_admin list can indeed differ between a Security Gateway and a Management Server. Option B is incorrect since the CPM can be running without being listed, and option C is misleading as CPM has its own monitoring. Option D is also wrong because CPM does not rely solely on the watch dog for monitoring.
