Dynamic log distribution is a feature that allows you to configure the Security Gateway to distribute logs between multiple active Log Servers to support a better rate of Logs and Log Servers redundancy. This means that each log is sent to only one Log Server and the load is balanced between the primary Log Servers. If all the primary Log Servers are disconnected, the logs are distributed between the backup Log Servers. If no Log Servers are connected, the gateway writes the logs locally. This feature improves the performance and reliability of logging and reduces the network traffic and disk space consumption.You can enable this feature on the SmartConsole -> Gateways & Servers -> Logs -> Dynamic Log Distribution1.

The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the dynamic log distribution feature.Option B is wrong because the Management High Availability does not store the logs dynamically on the member with the most available disk space, but rather synchronizes the logs between the members using the cpd process2. Option C is wrong because the dynamic log distribution feature does not synchronize the logs between the primary and secondary management server, but rather distributes the logs between the Log Servers. Option D is wrong because the dynamic log distribution feature does not save disk space in case of a firewall cluster, but rather distributes the logs between the Log Servers.The firewall cluster members do not store local logs, but rather send them to the Log Servers3.

The upgrade process for a Management High Availability Cluster is to first upgrade the Standby Management Server, then perform a failover and upgrade the Active Management Server. This way, the cluster can maintain its functionality and synchronization during the upgrade.

Policy Types are the different types of security policies that can be configured and enforced on a Check Point gateway. The valid Policy Types in R81.X are:

Access Control: Defines the rules for allowing or blocking traffic based on source, destination, service, user, and other criteria.

IPS: Protects the network from known and unknown attacks by inspecting the traffic and applying signatures, protections, and actions.

QoS: Controls the bandwidth allocation and prioritization for different types of traffic and applications.

DLP: Prevents the leakage of sensitive data from the network by detecting and blocking data transfers that violate predefined rules.

The User Directory Software Blade allows you to create user definitions on an LDAP server, such as Active Directory, and use them in your security policy. You can also integrate with other user authentication methods, such as SecurID, RADIUS, or TACACS+, but you cannot create user definitions on those servers.

Captive Portal is a feature of Identity Awareness Software Blade that enables you to identify users who are not authenticated by other methods, such as Active Directory or VPN. Captive Portal redirects users to a web page where they can enter their credentials and be authenticated by an external server, such as LDAP or RADIUS. After authentication, users can access the Internet and corporate resources according to the security policy rules that apply to their identity.

Captive Portal is one of the authentication methods used for Identity Awareness, which is a feature of Check Point that enables you to identify users and apply security policy rules based on their identity. Captive Portal redirects users to a web page where they can enter their credentials and be authenticated by an external server, such as LDAP or RADIUS. After authentication, users can access the Internet and corporate resources according to the security policy rules that apply to their identity.

A Distinguished Name (DN) is a unique identifier for an object in an LDAP directory, such as a user, a group, or an organization. A DN consists of a sequence of relative distinguished names (RDNs), which are attributes that describe the object. The most common RDNs are:

Common Name (CN): The name of the object, such as a user's full name or a group's name

Country : The two-letter ISO code of the country where the object is located, such as US or PK

User container (UC): The name of the container that holds the user objects, such as Users or People

Domain Component (DC): The name of the domain that the object belongs to, such as checkpoint.com or example.org

An Organizational Unit (OU) is not a component of a DN, but a type of object that can be used to organize other objects in a hierarchical structure. An OU can have its own DN, which includes the OU attribute as an RDN, such as OU=Sales,DC=checkpoint,DC=com.

Browser-Based Authentication is an identity awareness method that enables you to identify users who are not authenticated by other methods, such as Active Directory or VPN. Browser-Based Authentication redirects users to a web page where they can enter their credentials and be authenticated by an external server, such as LDAP or RADIUS. After authentication, users can access the Internet and corporate resources according to the security policy rules that apply to their identity.

Browser-Based Authentication is suitable for scenarios where users can use company issued or personal laptops, since it does not require any installation or configuration on the user's device. It also supports various operating systems and browsers, and can be customized to match the company's branding.
