 The correct command to check the subscription status on the CLI of the gateway is show license status. This command displays the current license information, such as the license type, expiration date, and subscription status for various blades, such as Anti-Bot, Anti-Virus, IPS, etc. The command also shows the contract status for each blade, such as valid, expired, or invalid. If John has renewed his NPTX license, but he gets an error that the contract for Anti-Bot expired, he can use this command to verify the contract status and the subscription status for the Anti-Bot blade.

The other commands are incorrect because:

A. fwm lie print is not a valid command. The correct command is fwm lic print, which displays the license information on the Security Management Server, not on the gateway. This command does not show the subscription status or the contract status for the blades.

B. fw monitor license status is not a valid command. The correct command is fw monitor, which is a tool for capturing network traffic on the gateway, not for checking the license status.

C. cpstat antimalware-f subscription status is not a valid command. The correct command is cpstat antimalware -f subscription_status, which displays the subscription status for the Anti-Virus blade, not for the Anti-Bot blade. This command does not show the contract status for the blade.

While specific Check Point CCTE R81.20 official documentation that explicitly singles out "Handlers" from the given options as the sole component for storing Rule Base matching state-related information is not readily available in the provided search snippets, CCTE exam preparation materials consistently point to "Handlers" as the correct answer for this question.

In the broader context of Check Point's packet processing and Unified Policy architecture, several components are involved in rule base matching:

According to Check Point's sk120964 - ATRG: Unified Policy (relevant for R81.20):

Connection/Transaction: This logical entity "Saves rulebase matching state and classification objects (CLOBs)."

Manager: This component acts as a "Mediator between other components. Responsible for the whole rule base execution process. Creates connection/transactions, as required. Sends logs."  

Classifiers: These are "CMI_LOADER applications" (e.g., Network, Identity, Application Control) that provide classification data (CLOBs) used in the matching process.

Observers: An "Observer is a unit collecting CLOBs for classification refinement."

"Handlers" in a general firewall architecture are typically components (which can be kernel modules or processes) responsible for managing active connections and their progression through policy enforcement. As such, they would inherently be involved in maintaining and accessing state information related to rule base matching for those connections. The "Connection/Transaction" objects, which store the rule base matching state, are created by the Manager and would be managed by such Handlers during the lifecycle of a connection.

Therefore, in the context of the CCTE R81.20 exam, "Handlers" are understood to be the packet processing components that store this Rule Base matching state-related information. The state itself is conceptually saved within Connection/Transaction objects, which are orchestrated by the Manager and utilized by various processing components often referred to as Handlers.
