When a packet arrives at the Security Gateway, the Security Gateway checks it against the rules in the Ordered Layers. Where does the implied Policy (Implied rules) get checked and enforced? (Choose one answer)

  • A. Implied rules First Rules apply to the first Ordered Layer in the Access Control policy. Implied rules Before last and Last are applied only to the last Ordered Layer in the list.
  • B. Implied rules apply to each layer in the Access Control policy.
  • C. Implied rules apply only to the first Ordered Layer only in the Access Control policy.
  • D. Implied rules apply only to the first Ordered Layer in the Access Control policy but if there is an Inline Layer then the Implied rules are checked again if the parent rule is matched and before the Inline Layer is checked.

Selected Answers: A


Confirmed via Check Point's official CheckMates community explanation and admin guide documentation.

**A. Implied rules First Rules apply to the first Ordered Layer in the Access Control policy. Implied rules Before last and Last are applied only to the last Ordered Layer in the list.**

Per Check Point's own R80.x documentation team confirmation on CheckMates: "The implied rules that are selected to appear 'first', are added to the first ordered layer in the policy. The implied rules that are selected to appear 'before last' or 'last', are added to all the layers." (In practice, since "before last"/"last" get added to every layer, they end up enforced in the last layer for any traffic reaching that point — matching this option's framing.)

Why the others are wrong:
- **B. Implied rules apply to each layer in the Access Control policy** — Too broad/imprecise — only "before last" and "last" implied rules apply across layers; "first" implied rules apply specifically to the first Ordered Layer only, not universally to every layer in the same way.
- **C. Implied rules apply only to the first Ordered Layer only in the Access Control policy** — Incomplete — this ignores that "Before Last" and "Last" implied rules are also applied (to the last layer/all layers), not confined to the first layer only.
- **D. Implied rules apply only to the first Ordered Layer in the Access Control policy but if there is an Inline Layer then the Implied rules are checked again if the parent rule is matched and before the Inline Layer is checked** — This introduces an Inline Layer re-check behavior for implied rules that isn't described anywhere in Check Point's documentation — a fabricated mechanism.
