When looking at the Ordered Access Control Layers in the SmartConsole they are organized sequentially. How does the security gateway enforce the rules? (Choose one answer)

  • A. All ordered layers are analyzed in parallel. If there is a matched drop rule in any layer then the traffic is allowed.
  • B. After checking each layer the firewall engages the relevant blades and starts to evaluate again one at a time while working with the other access control blades.
  • C. Each layer is evaluated independently.
  • D. All ordered layers are analyzed in parallel. If there is a matched accept rule in any layer then the traffic is allowed.

Selected Answers: C


The correct answer is C. Each layer is evaluated independently.
Technical Breakdown:
In Check Point’s [Unified Access Control Architecture](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R82/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R82_SecurityManagement_AdminGuide/Content/Topics-SECMG/Ordered-Layers-and-Inline-Layers.htm), policy packages can contain multiple sequential layers (Ordered Layers).

Independent Evaluation: When a packet arrives, the gateway evaluates it against the rules of the first layer. If the packet matches an Accept rule in that layer, it is not immediately allowed out of the firewall. Instead, the gateway moves on to the next layer and evaluates the packet independently against that layer's specific rule base.
The Rule of Consent: For traffic to be allowed completely through the security gateway, it must explicitly match an Accept rule in every single ordered layer it encounters. If any layer triggers a Drop action (or hits a drop cleanup rule), evaluation stops, and the packet is discarded immediately.

Why the other options are incorrect:


Options A & D are incorrect: Layers are evaluated sequentially (one after another), never in parallel.
Option B is incorrect: This option provides an inaccurate and confusing description of how software blades interact during layer processing.
