Which deployment adds a Security Gateway to an existing environment without changing IP routing?

The correct answer is B. Bridge Mode. Bridge Mode inserts a Security Gateway transparently at Layer 2, acting like a network bridge so no IP addresses or routing configurations in the existing environment need to change.

Why each option

Bridge Mode inserts a Security Gateway transparently at Layer 2, acting like a network bridge so no IP addresses or routing configurations in the existing environment need to change.

ADistributed

Distributed deployment refers to placing the Security Management Server and Security Gateway on separate machines - it does not describe how the gateway integrates into IP routing.

BBridge ModeCorrect

In Bridge Mode, the Security Gateway operates as a transparent Layer 2 bridge between two network segments. Because it does not route at Layer 3, existing IP addressing and routing infrastructure remains completely unchanged, making it ideal for inserting security inspection into an environment with minimal disruption.

CRemote

Remote is not a standard Check Point deployment topology that describes transparent insertion without routing changes.

DStandalone

Standalone deployment places the Security Management Server and Security Gateway on the same appliance - it is a management architecture choice, not a transparent insertion method.
