How does a Palo Alto Networks NGFW respond when the preemptive hold time is set to 0 minutes during configuration of route monitoring? (Choose one answer)

  • A. It does not accept the configuration.
  • B. It accepts the configuration but throws a warning message.
  • C. It removes the static route because 0 is a NULL value.
  • D. It reinstalls the route into the routing information base (RIB) as soon as the path comes up.

An organization runs multiple Kubernetes clusters both on-premises and in public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP). They want to deploy the Palo Alto Networks CN-Series NGFW to secure east-west traffic within each cluster, maintain consistent Security policies across all environments, and dynamically scale as containerized workloads spin up or down. They also plan to use a centralized Panorama instance for policy management and visibility.

Which approach meets these requirements? (Choose one answer)

  • A. Install standalone CN-Series instances in each cluster with local configuration only. Export daily policy configuration snapshots to Panorama for recordkeeping, but do not unify policy enforcement.
  • B. Configure the CN-Series only in public cloud clusters, and rely on Kubernetes Network Policies for on-premises cluster security. Synchronize partial policy information into Panorama manually as needed.
  • C. Use Kubernetes-native deployment tools (e.g., Helm) to deploy CN-Series in each cluster, ensuring local insertion into the service mesh or CNI. Manage all CN-Series firewalls centrally from Panorama, applying uniform Security policies across on-premises and cloud clusters.
  • D. Deploy a single CN-Series firewall in the on-premises data center to process traffic for all clusters, connecting remote clusters via VPN or peering. Manage this single instance through Panorama.

When deploying Palo Alto Networks NGFWs in a cloud service provider (CSP) environment, which method ensures high availability (HA) across multiple availability zones? (Choose one answer)

  • A. Deploying Ansible scripts for zone-specific scaling
  • B. Implementing Terraform templates for redundancy within one availability zone
  • C. Using load balancer and health probes
  • D. Configuring active/active HA

An engineer at a managed services provider is updating an application that allows its customers to request firewall changes to also manage SD-WAN. The application will be able to make any approved changes directly to devices via API.

What is a requirement for the application to create SD-WAN interfaces? (Choose one answer)

  • A. REST API’s “sdwanInterfaceprofiles” parameter on a Panorama device
  • B. REST API’s “sdwanInterfaces” parameter on a firewall device
  • C. XML API’s “sdwanprofiles/interfaces” parameter on a Panorama device
  • D. XML API’s “InterfaceProfiles/sdwan” parameter on a firewall device

Which set of options is available for detailed logs when building a custom report on a Palo Alto Networks NGFW? (Choose one answer)

  • A. Traffic, User-ID, URL
  • B. Traffic, threat, data filtering, User-ID
  • C. GlobalProtect, traffic, application statistics
  • D. Threat, GlobalProtect, application statistics, WildFire submissions

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? (Choose one answer)

  • 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.

Question #8

Which statement applies to the relationship between Panorama-pushed Security policy and local firewall Security policy? (Choose one answer)

  • A. When a policy match is found in a local firewall policy, if any Panorama shared post-rule is configured, it will still be evaluated.
  • B. Local firewall rules are evaluated after Panorama pre-rules and before Panorama post-rules.
  • C. Panorama post-rules can be configured to be evaluated before local firewall policy for the purpose of troubleshooting.
  • D. The order of policy evaluation can be configured differently in different device groups.

Question #9

During an upgrade to the routing infrastructure in a customer environment, the network administrator wants to implement Advanced Routing Engine (ARE) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall.

Which firewall models support this configuration?. (Choose one answer)

  • A. PA-5280, PA-7080, PA-3250, VM-Series
  • B. PA-455, VM-Series, PA-1410, PA-5450
  • C. PA-3260, PA-5410, PA-850, PA-460
  • D. PA-7050, PA-1420, VM-Series, CN-Series

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 answers)

  • 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.
