How many images are included with Check Point TE appliance in Recommended Mode?

The Check Point TE appliance in Recommended Mode comes with 2 (OS) images. This design is intentional to enhance reliability and facilitate seamless updates and maintenance. Having two OS images allows for one image to be active while the other can serve as a backup, which is crucial for maintaining high availability and minimizing downtime. This setup assists in situations where a system update or change may potentially lead to issues, enabling quick recovery by reverting to the standby image if necessary.

Other options do not accurately reflect the standard configuration of the TE appliance in Recommended Mode. While it's true that administrators have some control over the images selected, this pertains to custom installations rather than the default state provided in Recommended Mode. The licensing considerations and variations in the total number of images also do not apply here as Recommended Mode specifically dictates a pre-set environment, focusing on the stability and security of the two OS images included.
