traffic and enable log.

5. What Is Nat?

Answer : NAT stand for Network Address Translation. Its used to map private IP address with Public IP
Address and Public IP address map with Private IP Address. Mainly its used for Provide Security to the Internal
Network and Servers from Internet. NAT is also used to connect Internet with Private IP Address. Because
Private IP not route able on Internet.

6. What Is Source Nat?

Answer : Source NAT used to initiate traffic from internal network to external network. In source NAT only
source IP will translated in public IP address.

7. What Is Vpn (virtual Private Network)?

Answer : VPN (Virtual Private Network) is used to create secure connection between two private network
over Internet. Its used Encryption authentication to secure data during transmission. There are two type of VPN

 Site to Site VPN.

 Remote Access VPN.
8. What Is Ip Sec?

Answer : IP Sec (IP Security) is a set of protocol. which is responsible for make secure communication
between two host machine, or network over public network such as Internet. IPSec Protocol provide
Confidentiality , Integrity, Authenticity and Anti Replay protection. There is two IPSec protocol which provide
security

1. ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload)

2. AH (Authentication Header).

9. What Is Difference Between Esp And Ah Ipsec Protocol?

Answer :
ESP: ESP Protocol is a part of IPsec suit , Its provide Confidentiality, Integrity and Authenticity. Its used in two
mode Transport mode and Tunnel mode.

AH: Its is also part of a IPsec suit, Its provide only Authentication and Integrity, Its does not provide
Encryption. Its also used to two mode Transport mode and Tunnel mode.

10. What Is Explicit Rule In Checkpoint Firewall?

Answer : It's a rule in ruse base which is manually created by network security administrator that called
Explicit rule.

11. What Is Hide Nat?

Answer : Hide NAT used to translate multiple private IP or Network with single public IP address. Means
many to one translation. Its can only be used in source NAT translation. Hide NAT can not be used in
Destination NAT.

12. What Is Destination Nat?

Answer : When request to translate Destination IP address for connect with Internal Private network from
Public IP address. Only static NAT can be used in Destination NAT.

13. Difference Between Automatic Nat And Manual Nat?

Answer :
Automatic NAT:

 Automatic created by Firewall Network Security Administrator

 Can not modify
 Can not create “No NAT” rule
 Can not create Dual NAT
 Port forwarding not possible
 Proxy ARP by default enabled
Manual NAT:

 Manually Created by Network Security

 Can be Modify
 Can be Create “No NAT” rule
 Can be Create Dual NAT
 Port forwarding possible
 Proxy ARP by default not enable

14. What Is Difference Between Standalone Deployment Distributed Deployment?

Answer :

Standalone deployment : In standalone deployment, Security Gateway and Security management server
installed on same Machine.

Distributed deployment: In Distributed deployment, Security Gateway and Security Management Server
installed on different machine.

15. What Is Sic?

Answer : SIC stand for “Secure Internal Communication”. Its a checkpoint firewall feature that is used to
make secure communication between Checkpoint firewall component. Its used when Security Gateway and
Security management server installed in Distributed deployment. Its Authentication and Encryption for secure
communication.

22. What Are The Two Types Of Check Point Ng Licenses?

Answer : Central and Local licenses: Central licenses are the new licensing model for NG and are bound to
the SmartCenter server. Local licenses are the legacy licensing model and are bound to the enforcement module.

23. What Is The Main Different Between Cpstop/cpstart And Fwstop/fwstart?

Answer : Using cpstop and then cpstart will restart all Check Point components, including the SVN
foundation. Using fwstop and then fwstart will only restart VPN-1/FireWall-1.

24. What Are The Functions Of Cpd, Fwm, And Fwd Processes?

Answer :
CPD :CPD is a high in the hierarchichal chain and helps to execute many services, such as Secure Internal
Communcation (SIC), Licensing and status report.

FWM: The FWM process is responsible for the execution of the database activities of the SmartCenter server.
It is; therefore, responsible for Policy installation, Management High Availability (HA) Synchronization, saving
the Policy, Database Read/Write action, Log Display, etc.

FWD:The FWD process is responsible for logging. It is executed in relation to logging, Security Servers and

26. Is Ssl Enough For Your Security?

Answer : SSL is meant to verify the sender’s identity but it doesn’t search in a hard way for more hazards. SSL
will be able to track down the real person you are talking to but that too can be tricked at times. TLS is another
identity verification tool which works the same as SSL but better than it. This provides some additional
protection to the data so that no breaches are formed.

27. Ssl And Https: Which Is More Secure?

Answer : SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol which enables safe conversations between two or more
parties over the internet. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is HTTP combined with SSL which
provides you with a safer browsing experience with encryption. So, this is a very tricky question but SSL wins
in terms of security.
