Which SecureXL template is enabled by default on the Security Gateway?

The correct answer is that the Accept template is enabled by default on the Security Gateway because SecureXL is designed to boost the performance of packet processing by optimizing the way certain types of traffic are handled. In this context, the Accept template is primarily responsible for efficiently managing allowed traffic, ensuring that legitimate packets are processed quickly without unnecessary delay.

When SecureXL is active, it leverages the Accept template to process packets that match the rules set in the security policies, allowing the gateway to handle legitimate connections and traffic patterns efficiently. This is essential for maintaining high throughput and low latency in environments where speed is critical.

While Drop and NAT templates exist within SecureXL to optimize the handling of dropped packets and Network Address Translation respectively, their primary purpose is not to handle traffic that is being accepted through the gateway. The None option, indicating that no template is enabled, does not align with the default behavior of SecureXL, which aims to optimize the processing of allowed traffic right from the start.
