Questions 5

An engineer is implementing a new rollout of SAML for administrator authentication across a company’s Palo Alto Networks NGFWs. User authentication on company firewalls is currently performed with RADIUS, which will remain available for six months, until it is decommissioned. The company wants both authentication types to be running in parallel during the transition to SAML.

Which two actions meet the criteria? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.  

Create a testing and rollback plan for the transition from Radius to SAML, as the two authentication profiles cannot be run in tandem.

B.  

Create an authentication sequence that includes both the “RADIUS” Server Profile and “SAML Identity Provider” Server Profile to run the two services in tandem.

C.  

Create and apply an authentication profile with the “SAML Identity Provider” Server Profile.

D.  

Create and add the “SAML Identity Provider” Server Profile to the authentication profile for the “RADIUS” Server Profile.

Questions 6

Which statement applies to Log Collector Groups?

Options:

A.  

Log redundancy is available only if each Log Collector has the same amount of total disk storage.

B.  

Enabling redundancy increases the log processing traffic in a Collector Group by 50%.

C.  

In any single Collector Group, all the Log Collectors must run on the same Panorama model.

D.  

The maximum number of Log Collectors in a Log Collector Group is 18 plus two hot spares.

B.  

Ensure Authentication is set to “certificate,” then import a post-quantum derived certificate.

C.  

Select IKE v2 Preferred, enable the Advanced Options • PQ KEM, then add one or more “Rounds.”

D.  

Select IKE v2, enable the Advanced Options • PQ KEM, then create an IKE Crypto Profile with Advanced Options adding one or more “Rounds.”

B.  

Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for administrator access.

C.  

Define granular permissions for management tasks.

D.  

Restrict access to sensitive report data.

Questions 10

A large enterprise wants to implement certificate-based authentication for both users and devices, using an on-premises Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) hierarchy as the primary certificate authority (CA). The enterprise also requires Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) checks to ensure efficient revocation status updates and reduce the overhead on its NGFWs. The environment includes multiple Active Directory forests, Panorama management for several geographically dispersed firewalls, GlobalProtect portals and gateways needing distinct certificate profiles for users and devices, and strict Security policies demanding frequent revocation checks with minimal latency.

Which approach best addresses these requirements while maintaining consistent policy enforcement?

Options:

A.  

Deploy self-signed certificates at each site to simplify local certificate validation and reduce dependencies on a centralized C

A.  

Turn off certificate revocation checks for lower overhead, rely on IP-based rules for GlobalProtect authentication, and use a single certificate profile for both users and devices.

B.  

Distribute the root and intermediate CA certificates via Panorama as shared objects to ensure all firewalls have a consistent trust chain. Configure OCSP responder profiles on each firewall to offload revocation checks to an internal OCSP server while keeping CRL checks as a fallback. Maintain separate certificate profiles for user and device authentication and use an automated enrollment method – such as Group Policy or SCEP – to deploy ce

C.  

Configure each firewall independently to trust the root and intermediate CA certificates. Rely only on manual CRL checks for certificate revocation, and import both user and device certificates directly into each firewall’s local certificate store for authentication.

D.  

Obtain wildcard certificates from a public CA for both user and device authentication, and configure firewalls to perform CRL polling at the default update interval. Manually install user certificates on endpoints and synchronize firewall certificate stores through frequent manual SSH updates to maintain consistency.

Questions 11

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.

Questions 13

An administrator plans to upgrade a pair of active/passive firewalls to a new PAN-OS release. The environment is highly sensitive, and downtime must be minimized.

What is the recommended upgrade process for minimal disruption in this high availability (HA) scenario?

Options:

A.  

Suspend the active firewall to trigger a failover to the passive firewall. With traffic now running on the former passive unit, upgrade the suspended (now passive) firewall and confirm proper operation. Then fail traffic back and upgrade the remaining firewall.

B.  

Shut down the currently active firewall and upgrade it offline, allowing the passive firewall to handle all traffic. Once the active firewall finishes upgrading, bring it back online and rejoin the HA cluster. Finally, upgrade the passive firewall while the newly upgraded unit remains active.

C.  

Isolate both firewalls from the production environment and upgrade them in a separate, offline setup. Reconnect them only after validating the new software version, resuming HA functionality once both units are fully upgraded and tested.

D.  

Push the new PAN-OS version simultaneously to both firewalls, having them upgrade and reboot in parallel. Rely on automated HA reconvergence to restore normal operations without manually failing over traffic.
