Which command shows actual allowed connections in the state table?

The command that shows actual allowed connections in the state table is "fw tab -t connections." This command specifically accesses the connection tracking table where connections that have passed through the firewall are recorded. The table provides a view of the current active connections, including details such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, and states. This can be particularly useful for monitoring live traffic and troubleshooting connection issues.

Other commands in the options do not provide the same level of detail regarding active connections. While "fw tab -t StateTable" does examine a table that is related to stateful inspection, it may not directly show the granular details of allowed connections that are typically represented in the connections table. The command "fw tab -t connection" is not a valid command as specified and therefore would not yield meaningful results. Similarly, "fw tab connections" lacks the necessary parameter to retrieve specific tab information, leading to an incorrect or incomplete result.

By using the correct command, you can effectively monitor and analyze the flow of traffic through your Check Point security systems, helping to maintain security and performance standards.
