Question # 21

Which two statements describe an external zone in the context of virtual systems (VSYS) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall? (Choose two.)

A.

It is associated with an interface within a VSYS of a firewall.

B.

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.

Question # 22

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

A.

It acts as a logging service for NGFW performance metrics.

B.

It orchestrates real-time traffic inspection for network segments.

C.

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

D.

It manages threat intelligence data synchronization with NGFWs.

Question # 23

A network engineer observes that after a primary link recovers, the firewall immediately switches traffic back from the backup static route to the primary static route. The engineer checks the path monitoring configuration for the primary route.

Which value is configured for the preemptive hold time to cause this behavior?

A.

Lowest possible value greater than 0

B.

0

C.

Default value

D.

Feature disabled

Question # 24

An organization is adopting an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach to manage its entire network environment, including its Palo Alto Networks firewalls. The organization has chosen Ansible as its primary tool for this initiative.

How does Ansible enable an IaC model for managing this organization's firewalls?

A.

By providing real-time threat intelligence feeds directly to the firewalls' data plane

B.

By providing a graphical user interface that simplifies the creation of security policies through a drag-and-drop interface

C.

By automatically discovering and mapping all network devices to generate a baseline configuration

D.

By defining firewall configurations in playbooks that can be version-controlled and executed repeatedly

Question # 25

Which two services are configured by applying an SSL/TLS service profile? (Choose two.)

A.

Global Protect portal

B.

Log forwarding to Strata Logging Service

C.

Forward-Trust certificate

D.

Syslog server monitoring

Question # 26

What is the requirement for interface link speeds when configuring a virtual wire on a Palo Alto Networks firewall?

A.

They must be configured with auto-negotiate settings regardless of the port type.

B.

They must all be either copper or fiber optic, however they can be different.

C.

They must have the same link speed and transmission mode.

D.

They must be the same media type.

Question # 27

Which CLI command is used to configure the management interface as a DHCP client?

A.

set network dhcp interface management

B.

set network dhcp type management-interface

C.

set deviceconfig system type dhcp-client

D.

set deviceconfig management type dhcp-client

Question # 28

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?

A.

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

Question # 29

A DevOps team is building a repeatable process for deploying new Palo Alto Networks VM-Series firewalls. The entire infrastructure, including virtual networks, subnets, and the firewalls themselves, must be defined in code to ensure consistency and enable version control.

Which tool is primarily used for this type of declarative Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provisioning?

A.

Terraform

B.

Azure DevOps

C.

Ansible

D.

Panorama

Question # 30

A government agency needs to ensure that all user web access is explicitly mediated and authenticated.

The agency has the following requirements:

• Client browsers must be manually configured to send traffic to the firewall's IP address and a specific port.

• The firewall must support seamless single sign-on (SSO) with the users' existing Active Directory credentials.

Which feature set should the engineer configure to meet the agency's requirements?

A.

Web proxy in explicit mode with an Authentication policy by using Kerberos

B.

Decryption policy that redirects users to a SAML identity provider for authentication

C.

Web proxy in transparent mode with an Authentication policy by using multi-factor authentication (MFA)

D.

User-ID agent integration with Authentication Portal for authentication
