just passed CCSE NGX %98

[debian]

i just passed CCSE with %98.

Number of total question is 71 and approximetly 40-45 questions are form AT/pass4sure.

friends, be carefull about this question ;
Which of the following commands shows full synchronization status?
a) cphaprob -i list
b) cphastop
c) fw ctl pstat
d) cphaprob -a if
e) fw hastat

Correct answer is A - cphaprob -i list
NOT C fw ctl pstat

Bye,

Well done for the high mark, you must be very pleased.

Hmmm, that seems odd - I thought that command showed you the status of the devices being monitored - in the official CheckPoint manual, it does say fw ctl pstat - and it even gives a question with that answer for synchronisation information. Now I am scratching my head!!
cphaprob -a if (View the state of the cluster member interfaces and the virtual cluster interfaces)
cphaprob -i list - (View the list of critical devices on a cluster member)

What other questions did you have that weren't on pass4sure (or were they very similiar).

Agree with Pippa

I've just been doing a little reading and now it does make sense

Monitoring Critical Devices (cphaprob list)
When a critical device fails, the cluster member is considered to have failed. To see the list of critical devices on a cluster member, and of all the other machines in the cluster, run the following command on the cluster member:

cphaprob [-i[a]] [-e] list

There are a number of built-in critical devices, and the administrator can define
additional critical devices. The default critical devices are:
• The cluster interfaces on the cluster members.
• Synchronization—full synchronization completed successfully.
• Filter—the Security Policy, and whether it is loaded.
• cphad—which follows the ClusterXL process called cphamcset.
• fwd—the VPN-1 Power daemon.

So it does show if full synchronisation is working.
fw ctl pstat also tells you abut sync status too though.

I huge thanks to debian - you have to read the question carefully, it asks you about the 'status'
the command cphaprob -i list does give you the status of synchronization - the others will give you the stats of the packets sent and received.

Can someone confirm the answer for Q63 R55 upgrade license from actualtest ,i'm torn between C and D.

Thanks for everybodies help - managed to clear the CCSE with 98% today. I still didn't agree with some of the answers and that's why I dropped a couple of questions, but I couldn't bring myself to put down what I didn't agree with, silly me!!
