Questions 8

An enterprise uses GlobalProtect with both user- and machine-based certificate authentication and requires pre-logon, OCSP checks, and minimal user disruption. They manage multiple firewalls via Panorama and deploy domain-issued machine certificates via Group Policy.

Which approach ensures continuous, secure connectivity and consistent policy enforcement?

Options:

A.  

Use a wildcard certificate from a public CA, disable all revocation checks to reduce latency, and manage certificate renewals manually on each firewall.

B.  

Distribute root and intermediate CAs via Panorama template, use distinct certificate profiles for user versus machine certs, reference an internal OCSP responder, and automate certificate deployment with Group Policy.

C.  

Configure a single certificate profile for both user and machine certificates. Rely solely on CRLs for revocation to minimize complexity.

D.  

Deploy self-signed certificates on each firewall, allow IP-based authentication to override certificate checks, and use default GlobalProtect settings for user / machine identification.

Questions 12

A firewall administrator uses Panorama to manage a fleet of firewalls. After successfully onboarding the firewalls to Strata Logging Service and enabling cloud logging via a template, the security operations team reports that they can no longer see new logs on the on-premises Panorama log collectors. Logs are appearing correctly in Strata Logging Service. Which setting was likely missed in the Panorama template configuration?

Options:

A.  

The device certificates for the Panorama log collectors were not renewed after enabling the cloud logging connection.

B.  

Duplicate logging (cloud and on-premises) is disabled under Device → Setup → Management.

C.  

The Log Forwarding profile was modified to send logs only to the Strata Logging Service and no longer includes the on-premises Panorama log collectors.

D.  

The Panorama log collectors were not defined as primary destinations within the collector group configuration for the managed firewalls.

Questions 13

An NGFW engineer is establishing bidirectional connectivity between the accounting virtual system (VSYS) and the marketing VSYS. The traffic needs to transition between zones without leaving the firewall (no external physical connections). The interfaces for each VSYS are assigned to separate virtual routers (VRs), and inter-VR static routes have been configured. An external zone has been created correctly for each VSYS. Security policies have been added to permit the desired traffic between each zone and its respective external zone. However, the desired traffic is still unable to successfully pass from one VSYS to the other in either direction.

Which additional configuration task is required to resolve this issue?

Options:

A.  

Create a transit VSYS and route all inter-VSYS traffic through it.

B.  

Add each VSYS to the list of visible virtual systems of the other VSYS.

C.  

Enable the “allow inter-VSYS traffic” option in both external zone configurations.

D.  

Create Security policies to allow the traffic between the two external zones.

D.  

SNMP, HTTP, RADIUS

Questions 15

How does a Palo Alto Networks firewall choose the best route when it receives routes for the same destination from different routing protocols?

B.  

It will attempt to load balance the traffic across all routes.

C.  

It compares the administrative distance and chooses the one with the highest value.

D.  

It compares the administrative distance and chooses the one with the lowest value.

It is a security object associated with a specific virtual router of a VSYS.

C.  

It is not associated with an interface; it is associated with a VSYS itself.

D.  

It is a security object associated with a specific VSYS.

Questions 17

To maintain security efficacy of its public cloud resources by using native tools, a company purchases Cloud NGFW credits to replicate the Panorama, PA-Series, and VM-Series devices used in physical data centers. Resources exist on AWS and Azure:

The AWS deployment is architected with AWS Transit Gateway, to which all resources connect

The Azure deployment is architected with each application independently routing traffic

The engineer deploying Cloud NGFW in these two cloud environments must account for the following:

Minimize changes to the two cloud environments

Scale to the demands of the applications while using the least amount of compute resources

Allow the company to unify the Security policies across all protected areas

Which two implementations will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.  

Deploy a VM-Series firewall in AWS in each VPC, create an IPSec tunnel between AWS and Azure, and manage the policy with Panorama.

B.  

Deploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vNET/s, update the vNET/s routing to path traffic through the deployed NGFWs, and manage the policy with Panorama.

C.  

Deploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vWAN, create a vWAN to route all appropriate traffic to the Cloud NGFW attached to the vWAN, and manage the policy with local rules.

D.  

Deploy Cloud NGFW for AWS in a centralized Security VPC, update the Transit Gateway to route all appropriate traffic through the Security VPC, and manage the policy with Panorama.
