What is the impact of an expired or missing contract file?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

When a contract file expires or is missing, the existing protection settings continue to display in SmartConsole but are no longer enforced by the Security Gateway. This means that while the administrative interface still shows the security configurations, the actual enforcement of those policies is halted, potentially leaving the network vulnerable until the contract is renewed or replaced.

I think D is the right answer. Wouldn't want to rely on those protections if they're not actually being enforced. Gotta keep that contract file up-to-date, folks!

Haha, option C is like a free trial of security features. 'Sorry, your subscription expired. Here, have 14 days on the house!'

I was leaning towards B, but now I'm not so sure. What if the Security Gateway can't get a new contract file during policy install? That would be a mess.

User1: I think if the Security Gateway can't get a new contract file, it will use a 14-day EVAL free license instead.

I think the existing protection settings will remain but are not being enforced by the Security Gateway.

Definitely going with option D. If the contract file is missing, the protections are not being enforced, even if they are still displayed in SmartConsole. Simple and straightforward.
