156-215.81.20 VPN Basics Practice Question
A Check Point administrator is configuring a Remote Access VPN with Endpoint Security VPN clients. The administrator wants to ensure that all traffic from the remote clients, including Internet-bound traffic, is routed through the Security Gateway for inspection. Which configuration should be enabled in the Remote Access VPN community?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse Office Mode, which assigns IP addresses, with the setting that actually routes all traffic through the gateway.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable 'Route all traffic through this gateway' in the Remote Access VPN community.
To ensure all traffic from remote clients is inspected, the administrator must enable 'Route all traffic through this gateway' in the Remote Access VPN community. This setting overrides the client's default routing and directs all packets to the gateway, where they can be inspected and filtered according to policy.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure 'Office Mode' and assign IP addresses to clients.
Why it's wrong here
Office Mode assigns virtual IP addresses to remote clients, allowing them to access internal resources, but it does not automatically route all Internet-bound traffic through the gateway. Additional configuration like 'Route all traffic through gateway' is required for that.
- ✓
Enable 'Route all traffic through this gateway' in the Remote Access VPN community.
Why this is correct
This setting, found in the Remote Access VPN community properties, forces all client traffic, including Internet-bound traffic, to be sent through the Security Gateway. This enables full inspection and policy enforcement, often used for compliance or security requirements.
- ✗
Enable 'Hub Mode' in the Remote Access VPN community.
Why it's wrong here
Hub Mode is used for site-to-site VPNs to route traffic between satellite gateways through a hub. It is not applicable to Remote Access VPN clients and does not control client traffic routing. Enabling Hub Mode would not force Internet-bound traffic through the gateway.
- ✗
Configure 'Visitor Mode' to allow clients to connect from behind NAT devices.
Why it's wrong here
Visitor Mode is used to allow remote access clients to connect through NAT devices by using TCP encapsulation. It does not control traffic routing; it only affects connectivity. It would not force Internet-bound traffic through the gateway.
