In R80.10, when setting up third-party devices to read logs using the Log Export API (LEA), the default log server utilizes port 18184. This port is specifically designated for the LEA service within the Check Point architecture, allowing external systems to securely access logs generated by the Check Point security management and enforcement points.

Understanding the importance of port 18184 in the context of LEA is crucial, as it facilitates communication between Check Point devices and third-party log analysis tools, ensuring that logs can be seamlessly exported and utilized for monitoring and compliance purposes.

The selection of different ports in the remaining options does not align with the LEA configuration for log reading. Each of those ports is used for other services within the Check Point ecosystem or are not standard configurations for logging purposes. For example, 18210 is commonly associated with communication between the management server and gateways, while 257 is not a recognized port for Check Point logging services. Port 18191 may also serve a different function and is not utilized for LEA log exports. Understanding the specific roles of these ports emphasizes the importance of the default port utilized by the Log Export API for effective log management and analysis.
