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

AThe existing protection settings will be removed in SmartConsole but protections are still being enforced by the Security Gateway.

BThe existing protection settings display in SmartConsole remain and during policy install the Security Gateway asks the administrator to put a new contract file during policy install.

CThe existing protection settings display in SmartConsole remain and the Security Gateway will use a 14-day EVAL free license instead.

DThe existing protection settings display in SmartConsole remain but are not being enforced by the Security Gateway.

Show Suggested 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.

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.

I think the impact would be that the existing protection settings will be removed in SmartConsole.
