Exam 156-215.80 topic 1 question 273 discussion

there is no correct answer from CCSE R80 guide: Command sources allow you to communicate with the API server and perform many tasks using management APIs. • The SmartConsole GUI console — From SmartConsole, click the Command Line button to open a CLI window and enter API commands. For example, you can use the add host command to create a new host and then publish the changes. • The mgmt_cli Tool — Runs in Expert mode and lets you enter commands from a Windows or Linux computer. mgmt_cli uses the same authentication (username and password) as the GUI client; however, it does not require a GUI installation. • Gaia CLI — Log in to Gaia with an administrator account on the Security Management Server and enter API commands using Clish. • Web Services — Send HTTPS Post requests to the Security Management Server.

Correct Answer is D: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/#introduction~v1.7%20

Using the Management APIs There are four ways to communicate use the management APIs: Typing API commands from a dialog inside the SmartConsole GUI application. Typing API commands using the "mgmt_cli" executable (available in both Windows, Linux/Gaia flavors). Typing API commands using Gaia's secure shell (clish). Sending API commands over an https connection using web-services https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/#introduction~v1.7%20

C is the correct answer - Using CLISH is wrong. it should be "GAIA CLI" https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/#introduction~v1.7%20

read carefully, question is "Which one is NOT correct?" D - Using smartconsole GUI console (this is not a way to use management API) These are the 4 ways;  SmartConsole CLI - From SmartConsole, you can open a CLI window end enter API commands  mgmt_cli Tool - Runs in Expert mode and lets you enter commands from a Windows or Linux computer Note - You must enter the username and password with the mgmt_cli tool procedure  Gaia CLI - Log in to the Gaia operating system with an administrator account on the Security Management Server and enter API commands  Web Services - Send HTTPS Post requests to the Security Management Server

D is the answer - its Smartconsole GUI application : Using the Management APIs There are four ways to communicate use the management APIs: Typing API commands from a dialog inside the SmartConsole GUI application. Typing API commands using the "mgmt_cli" executable (available in both Windows, Linux/Gaia flavors). Typing API commands using Gaia's secure shell (clish). Sending API commands over an https connection using web-services (from Introduction to the Check Point Management API)

There is no correct answer. All of these are used as API Management

D is the Answer Smartconsole CLI is the actual one not Smartconsole GUI
