Question 1

Which feature allows you to use multiple links simultaneously to balance the load in a Palo Alto Networks firewall?



Answer : D


Question 2

Which three steps must an administrator perform to load only address objects from a PAN-OS saved configuration file into a VM-3C0 firewall that is in production? (Choose three)



Answer : C, D, E

To load only address objects from a PAN-OS saved configuration file into a VM-300 firewall that is in production, the administrator must follow these three steps:

C . Enter the configuration mode from the CLI: This step is necessary to prepare the firewall to accept the new configuration.

D . Use the load config partial command: This command allows the administrator to load only specific parts of the configuration, such as address objects, from a saved configuration file without overwriting the entire configuration. The command syntax typically looks like this: load config partial from <source-configuration> mode merge exclude everything but address objects.

E . Import named configuration snapshot through the web interface: This involves importing the configuration snapshot that contains the address objects through the web interface, but only after ensuring that the specific address objects are targeted and not the entire configuration.

Question 3

Your customer has asked you to set up tunnel monitoring on an IPsec VPN tunnel between two offices What three steps are needed to set up tunnel monitoring? (Choose three)



Answer : A, B, E

To set up tunnel monitoring on an IPsec VPN tunnel between two offices, the following steps are needed:

A . Create a monitoring profile: This profile defines the criteria for monitoring, such as the IP address to ping and the failure condition.

B . Add an IP address to each tunnel interface: Tunnel monitoring requires an IP address on each tunnel interface to send and receive monitoring pings.

E . Enable tunnel monitoring on each IPsec tunnel: This step activates the monitoring profile on the IPsec tunnel, ensuring that the tunnel is actively monitored and can trigger alerts or failover mechanisms if the tunnel goes down.

These steps ensure that the tunnel is properly monitored, allowing for proactive detection and response to connectivity issues.

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using App-ID?



Answer : D


Question 5

Which interface deployments support the Aggregate Ethernet Active configuration? (Choose three.)



Answer : B, C, D

The interface deployments that support the Aggregate Ethernet (AE) Active configuration are:

B . LACP in Layer 3: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) can be used in Layer 3 interfaces to bundle multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface for redundancy and increased bandwidth.

C . LACP in Layer 2: LACP can be used in Layer 2 interfaces to aggregate multiple Ethernet interfaces, enhancing throughput and providing failover capabilities within a Layer 2 network.

D . LACP in Virtual Wire: LACP can also be configured in Virtual Wire mode, which allows the firewall to aggregate interfaces while operating in a transparent mode, bridging traffic between interfaces without routing.

These configurations leverage LACP to improve network performance and reliability by combining multiple physical links into a single logical link.
