GlobalProtect

Syslog

Server monitoring

QUESTION 21
Which statement describes the role of Terraform in deploying Palo Alto Networks NGFWs?

It acts as a logging service for NGFW performance metrics.

It orchestrates real-time traffic inspection for network segments.

It provides Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to automate NGFW deployment.

It manages threat intelligence data synchronization with NGFWs.

QUESTION 22
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?

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

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.

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

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

QUESTION 23
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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

QUESTION 24
By default, which type of traffic is configured by service route configuration to use the management interface?

Security zone

IPSec tunnel

Virtual system (VSYS)

Autonomous Digital Experience Manager (ADEM)

QUESTION 25
Which type of firewall resource can be assigned when configuring a new firewall virtual system (VSYS)?

Security profile limit

Memory

Sessions limit

ICPU

QUESTION 26
After an engineer configures an IPSec tunnel with a Cisco ASA, the Palo Alto Networks firewall generates system messages reporting the tunnel is failing to establish.
Which of the following actions will resolve this issue?

Ensure that an active static or dynamic route exists for the VPN peer with next hop as the tunnel interface.

Configure the Proxy IDs to match the Cisco ASA configuration.

Check that IPSec is enabled in the management profile on the external interface.

Validate the tunnel interface VLAN against the peer’s configuration.

QUESTION 27
Without performing a context switch, which set of operations can be performed that will affect the operation of a connected firewall on the Panorama GUI?

Restarting the local firewall, running a packet capture, accessing the firewall CLI

Modification of local security rules, modification of a Layer 3 interface, modification of the firewall device hostname

Modification of pre-security rules, modification of a virtual router, modification of an IKE Gateway Network Profile

Modification of post NAT rules, creation of new views on the local firewall ACC tab, creation of local custom reports

QUESTION 28
Palo Alto Networks NGFWs use SSL/TLS profiles to secure which two types of connections? (Choose two.)

NAT tables

User Authentication

GlobalProtect Gateways

GlobalProtect Portal

QUESTION 29
In a hybrid cloud deployment, what is the primary function of Ansible in managing Palo Alto Networks NGFWs?

It enables centralized log collection and correlation for NGFWs.

It automates NGFW policy updates and configurations through playbooks.

It facilitates dynamic updates to NGFW threat databases.

It provides a web interface for managing NGFW hardware clusters.

QUESTION 30
Which statement applies to the relationship between Panorama-pushed Security policy and local firewall Security policy?

When a policy match is found in a local firewall policy, if any Panorama shared post-rule is configured, it will still be evaluated.

Local firewall rules are evaluated after Panorama pre-rules and before Panorama post-rules.

Panorama post-rules can be configured to be evaluated before local firewall policy for the purpose of troubleshooting.

The order of policy evaluation can be configured differently in different device groups.

QUESTION 31
Which configuration in the LACP tab will enable pre-negotiation for an Aggregate Ethernet (AE) interface on a Palo Alto Networks high availability (HA) active/passive pair?

Set Transmission Rate to “fast.”

Set passive link state to “Auto.”

Set “Enable in HA Passive State.”

Set LACP mode to “Active.”

QUESTION 32
Which statement applies to Log Collector Groups?

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

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

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

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

QUESTION 33
What must be configured before a firewall administrator can define policy rules based on users and groups?

User Mapping profile

Authentication profile

Group mapping settings

LDAP Server profile

QUESTION 34
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?

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

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

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

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