Checkpoint 156-587 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 2

When a user space process crashes unexpectedly, the operating system often creates a core dump file. This file is a snapshot of the process's memory at the time of the crash, including information such as:

Program counter: This indicates where the program was executing when it crashed.

Stack pointer: This shows the function call stack, which can help trace the sequence of events leading to the crash.

Memory contents: This includes the values of variables and data structures used by the process.

Register values: This shows the state of the processor registers at the time of the crash.

Core dump files can be analyzed using debuggers like GDB to understand the cause of the crash.

Why other options are incorrect:

B . kernel_memory_dump dbg: This refers to a kernel memory dump, which is generated when the operating system kernel itself crashes.

C . core analyzer: This is a tool used to analyze core dump files, not the file itself.

D . coredebug: This is not a standard term for any type of crash dump file.

Check Point Troubleshooting

Reference:

Check Point's documentation mentions core dumps in the context of troubleshooting various processes, such as fwd (firewall) and cpd (Check Point daemon). You can find information on enabling core dumps and analyzing them in the Check Point administration guides and knowledge base articles.

To troubleshoot Identity Awareness issues related to user identification and Access Role application, you need to enable debugging for both Identity Collectors (IDC) and Identity Providers (IDP). The command pdp debug set IDC all IDP all on the gateway achieves this.

Here's why this is the correct answer and why the others are not:

A . on the gateway: pdp debug set IDC all IDP all: This correctly enables debugging for all Identity Collectors and Identity Providers, allowing you to see detailed logs and messages related to user identification and Access Role assignment. This helps pinpoint issues with user mapping, authentication, or authorization.

B . on the gateway: pdp debug set AD all and IDC all: This command only enables debugging for Active Directory (AD) as an Identity Provider and all Identity Collectors. It might miss issues related to other Identity Providers if they are in use.

C . on the management: pdp debug on IDC all: This command has two issues. First, it should be executed on the gateway, not the management server, as the gateway is responsible for user identification and policy enforcement. Second, it only enables debugging for Identity Collectors, not Identity Providers.

D . on the management: pdp debug set all: While this command might seem to enable debugging for everything, it's not specific enough for Identity Awareness troubleshooting. It might generate excessive logs unrelated to the issue and make it harder to find the relevant information.
