Free CheckPoint 156-587 R81.20 Actual Exam Questions - Question 11 Discussion

Makes sense to rule out A and B since they’re config folders, not logs. Between C and D, I’d say C is safer for general debug logs regardless of version. C.

I’m thinking C here, SFWDIR/log. It’s the classic spot for most debug logs across different Check Point versions, not just VPN-related stuff. D looks version-specific and might not apply if you’re on an older or non-R80 gateway. So if no version is stated, C feels like the better all-around choice.

I see the logic with C being the go-to logs folder, but D specifically mentions R80 and VPN logs, which points to a more exact location for VPN debug files on newer versions. Since the question hints at Site-to-Site VPN troubleshooting, D feels like a better fit because it targets VPN logs directly. Not A or B for sure, as those are config dirs. So I’m picking D here.

Good point about C being classic, but I’m going with D since it’s clearly listed under the VPN-specific directory, which feels more precise for VPN debug logs in newer setups. D.

C/D? I think C is the safer bet because SFWDIR/log is the traditional folder for all logs, including VPN debug. D seems version-specific, so unless it says R80+, C feels more universal.

Makes sense to skip A and B since they're config folders, not logs. C is the classic go-to for logs in most Check Point setups, so I'm sticking with C.

D. I’d say D makes sense because it points to a more specific path for VPN logs in newer versions of the suite. While SFWDIR/log (C) is the classic location, the path in D matches what’s used for R80 and later versions where they reorganized directories. It’s probably safer to go with D if the question targets recent Check Point releases. A and B are clearly config directories, so they can’t be right for debug logs.

I’d rule out A and B since those are config folders. Between C and D, C’s SFWDIR/log is the standard location for logs in most Check Point setups. So I’m picking C.

D vs C here, D looks version-specific while C seems more general for logs.

Option C, since logs are typically under SFWDIR/log, not conf or SCPDIR.

A imo, conf folders usually store configs, not logs.

It’s C, the SFWDIR/log folder holds those VPN debug logs.
