The Hit count feature will work independently from logging and track the hits even if the Track option is set to “None” 1 , p. 23.  When you enable Hit Count, the Security Management Server collects the data from supported Security Gateways and displays the number of connections that each rule matches in SmartConsole 3 .

 Address translation is not a role of the SmartCenter, as it is performed by the Security Gateway based on the NAT policy configured in the SmartConsole 5 .  The other options are roles of the SmartCenter, as it is responsible for status monitoring, policy configuration, and certificate authority for the Security Gateways 5 .

The option that allows traffic to VPN gateways in specific VPN communities is Specific VPN Communities 4 . This option enables you to define which VPN communities are allowed in the rule. All Connections (Clear or Encrypted) allows traffic to any destination, regardless of whether it is encrypted or not. Accept all encrypted traffic allows traffic to any encrypted destination, regardless of the VPN community.  All Site-to-Site VPN Communities allows traffic to any site-to-site VPN gateway, regardless of the VPN community 4 . Therefore, the correct answer is C.  Specific VPN Communities.

A Distinguished Name (DN) is a unique identifier for an entry in an LDAP directory. A DN consists of a sequence of relative distinguished names (RDNs) separated by commas. Each RDN is composed of an attribute type and an attribute value, such as cn=John Smith or ou=Sales. A DN can have different components depending on the structure and schema of the LDAP directory, but some common components are: Common Name (cn), Country ©, Organizational Unit (ou), Organization (o), State or Province (st), and Locality (l).  User container is not a component of a DN 3 .

Access roles allow the firewall administrator to configure network access according to remote access clients, a combination of computer or computer groups and networks, and users and user groups 1 2 . Therefore, the correct answer is D.

There are three types of software containers: security management, Security Gateway, and endpoint security. A software container is a set of software blades that provide specific functionality. A security management container manages the security policy and configuration for one or more Security Gateways. A Security Gateway container enforces the security policy on the network traffic.  An endpoint security container protects the data and network access of an endpoint device 2 . The other options are not valid types of software containers. References:  Software Containers
