1.	Explain the functions of CPD, FWM, and FWD processes.
Answer» FWM (Firewall MANAGEMENT): It runs only on the SMS (Security Management Server) and is responsible for handling SmartConsole GUI connections, policy verification, and Management high availability (HA) synchronization. FWD (Firewall Daemon): It runs on both SMS and Security Gateway devices. Mostly, it is responsible for routing logs from Security Gateways to SMS, but it also acts as a PARENT process (on security gateways) for MANY security server processes that are performing ADVANCED inspections outside of the kernel. CPD (Check Point Daemon): It runs on both SMS and Security Gateway devices. It is responsible for handling generic functions like SmartView Monitor, SIC/certificates, licensing, and fetching/pushing policy between the SMS and Security Gateway.
