Q1. An engineer is troubleshooting a traffic-routing issue. What is the correct packet-flow sequence?

A. PBF > Zone Protection Profiles > Packet Buffer Protection

B. BGP > PBF > NAT
C. PBF > Static route > Security policy enforcement
D. NAT > Security policy enforcement > OSPF

Answer: C

Explanation:
The correct packet-flow sequence is C. PBF > Static route > Security policy enforcement. This sequence
describes the order of operations that the firewall performs when processing a packet. PBF stands for
Policy-Based Forwarding, which is a feature that allows the firewall to override the routing table and
forward traffic based on the source and destination addresses, application, user, or service. PBF is
evaluated before the static route lookup, which is the default method of forwarding traffic based on the
destination address and the longest prefix match. Security policy enforcement is the stage where the
firewall applies the security policy rules to allow or block traffic based on various criteria, such as zone,
address, port, user, application, etc12. References: Policy-Based Forwarding, Packet Flow Sequence in
PAN-OS

NEW
Q2. A firewall engineer creates a new App-ID report under Monitor > Reports > Application Reports > New
Applications to monitor new applications on the network and better assess any Security policy updates
the engineer might want to make.
How does the firewall identify the New App-ID characteristic?

A. It matches to the New App-IDs downloaded in the last 90 days.

B. It matches to the New App-IDs in the most recently installed content releases.
C. It matches to the New App-IDs downloaded in the last 30 days.
D. It matches to the New App-IDs installed since the last time the firewall was rebooted.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The New App-ID characteristic enables the firewall to monitor new applications on the network, so that the
engineer can better assess the security policy updates they might want to make. The New App-ID
characteristic always matches to only the new App-IDs in the most recently installed content releases.
When a new content release is installed, the New App-ID characteristic automatically begins to match
only to the new App-IDs in that content release version. This way, the engineer can see how the newly-
categorized applications might impact security policy enforcement and make any necessary adjustments.

Q3. Which protocol is supported by GlobalProtect Clientless VPN?

A. FTP
B. RDP
C. SSH
D. HTTPS

Answer: D

Explanation:
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Virtual Machine (VM) environments, such as Citrix XenApp and
XenDesktop or VMWare Horizon and Vcenter, support access natively through HTML5. You can RDP,
VNC, or SSH to these machines through Clientless VPN without requiring additional third-party
middleware. In environments that do not include native support for HTML5 or other web application
technologies supported by Clientless VPN, you can use third-party vendors, such as Thinfinity, to RDP
through Clientless VPN. Reference:

Q4. When you import the configuration of an HA pair into Panorama, how do you prevent the import from
affecting ongoing traffic?

A. Set the passive link state to shutdown".

B. Disable config sync.
C. Disable the HA2 link.
D. Disable HA.

Answer: B

Explanation:
To prevent the import from affecting ongoing traffic when you import the configuration of an HA pair into
Panorama, you should disable config sync on both firewalls. Config sync is a feature that enables the
firewalls in an HA pair to synchronize their configurations and maintain consistency. However, when you
import the configuration of an HA pair into Panorama, you want to avoid any changes to the firewall
configuration until you verify and commit the imported configuration on Panorama. Therefore, you should
disable config sync before importing the configuration, and re-enable it after committing the changes on
Panorama12. References: Migrate a Firewall HA Pair to Panorama Management, PCNSE Study Guide

Q6. Which template values will be configured on the firewall if each template has an SSL to be deployed.
The template stack should consist of four templates arranged according to the diagram.
Which template values will be configured on the firewall if each template has an SSL/TLS Service profile
configured named Management?

A. Values in Datacenter
B. Values in efwOlab.chi
C. Values in Global Settings
D. Values in Chicago

Answer: D

Explanation:
The template stack should consist of four templates arranged according to the diagram. The template
values that will be configured on the firewall if each template has an SSL/TLS Service profile configured
named Management will be the values in Chicago. This is because the SSL/TLS Service profile is
configured in the Chicago template, which is the highest priority template in the stack. The firewall will
inherit the settings from the highest priority template that has the setting configured, and ignore the
settings from the lower priority templates that have the same setting configured. Therefore, the values in
Datacenter, efwOlab.chi, and Global Settings will not be applied to the firewall. References:

Q8. Which two policy components are required to block traffic in real time using a dynamic user group
(DUG)? (Choose two.)

A. A Deny policy for the tagged traffic

B. An Allow policy for the initial traffic
C. A Decryption policy to decrypt the traffic and see the tag
D. A Deny policy with the "tag" App-ID to block the tagged traffic

Answer: AB

Explanation:
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-1/pan-os-new-features/user-id-features/dynamic-user-groups
Use the dynamic user group in a policy to regulate traffic for the members of the group. You will need to
configure at least two rules: one to allow initial traffic to populate the dynamic user group and one to deny
traffic for the activity you want to prevent (in this case, questionable-activity). To tag users, the rule to
allow traffic must have a higher rule number in your rulebase than the rule that denies traffic.

Q10. An engineer troubleshoots a Panorama-managed firewall that is unable to reach the DNS servers
configured via a global template. As a troubleshooting step, the engineer needs to configure a local DNS
server in place of the template value.
Which two actions can be taken to ensure that only the specific firewall is affected during this process?
(Choose two )

A. Configure the DNS server locally on the firewall.

B. Change the DNS server on the global template.
C. Override the DNS server on the template stack.
D. Configure a service route for DNS on a different interface.

Answer: AC

Explanation:
To override a device and network setting applied by a template, you can either configure the setting
locally on the firewall or override the setting on the template stack. Configuring the setting locally on the
firewall will
copy the setting to the local configuration of the device and will no longer be controlled by the template.
Overriding the setting on the template stack will apply the setting to all the firewalls that are assigned to
the template stack, unless the setting is also overridden locally on a firewall. Changing the setting on the
global template will affect all the firewalls that inherit the setting from the template, which is not desirable
in this scenario. Configuring a service route for DNS on a different interface will not change the DNS
server address, but only the interface that the firewall uses to reach the DNS server. References:

Q11. An organization is interested in migrating from their existing web proxy architecture to the Web
Proxy feature of their PAN-OS 11.0 firewalls. Currently. HTTP and SSL requests contain the c IP address
of the web server and the client browser is redirected to the proxy Which PAN-OS proxy method should
be configured to maintain this type of traffic flow?

A. DNS proxy
B. Explicit proxy
C. SSL forward proxy
D. Transparent proxy

Answer: D

Explanation:
For the transparent proxy method, the request contains the destination IP address of the web server and
the proxy transparently intercepts the client request (either by being in-line or by traffic steering). There is
no client configuration and Panorama is optional. Transparent proxy requires a loopback interface, User-
ID configuration in the proxy zone, and specific Destination NAT (DNAT) rules. Transparent proxy does
not support X-Authenticated Users (XAU) or Web Cache Communications Protocol (WCCP).

Q12. Which three multi-factor authentication methods can be used to authenticate access to the firewall?
(Choose three.)

A. Voice
B. Fingerprint
C. SMS
D. User certificate
E. One-time password

Answer: CDE

Explanation:
The firewall can use three multi-factor authentication methods to authenticate access to the firewall: SMS,
user certificate, and one-time password. These methods can be used in combination with other
authentication factors, such as username and password, to provide stronger security for accessing the
firewall web interface or CLI. The firewall can integrate with various MFA vendors that support these
methods through RADIUS or SAML protocols5. Voice and fingerprint are not supported by the firewall as
MFA methods. References: MF Vendor Support, PCNSE Study Guide (page 48)

Q13. A network security administrator has been tasked with deploying User-ID in their organization. What
are three valid methods of collecting User-ID information in a network? (Choose three.)

A. Windows User-ID agent

B. GlobalProtect
C. XMLAPI
D. External dynamic list
E. Dynamic user groups

Answer: ABC

Explanation:
User-ID is a feature that allows the firewall to identify and classify users and groups on the network based
on their usernames, IP addresses, and other attributes1.
User-ID information can be collected from various sources, such as:

A: Windows User-ID agent: A software agent that runs on a Windows server and collects user information
from Active Directory domain controllers, Exchange servers, or eDirectory servers2. The agent then
sends the user information to the firewall or Panorama for user mapping2.

B: GlobalProtect: A software agent that runs on the endpoints and provides secure VPN access to the
network3. GlobalProtect also collects user information from the endpoints and sends it to the firewall or
Panorama for user mapping4.
C: XMLAPI: An application programming interface that allows external systems or scripts to send user
information to the firewall or Panorama in XML format. The XMLAPI can be used to integrate with third-
party systems, such as identity providers, captive portals, or custom applications.

firewalls to modify the MAC addresses so they are no longer in conflict?

A. Configure a floating IP between the firewall pairs.

B. Change the Group IDs in the High Availability settings to be different from the other firewall pair on the
same subnet.
C. Change the interface type on the interfaces that have conflicting MAC addresses from L3 to VLAN.

Q15. An administrator configures a site-to-site IPsec VPN tunnel between a PA-850 and an external
customer on their policy-based VPN devices. What should an administrator configure to route interesting
traffic through the VPN tunnel?

A. Proxy IDs
B. GRE Encapsulation
C. Tunnel Monitor
D. ToS Header

Answer: A

Explanation:
An administrator should configure proxy IDs to route interesting traffic through the VPN tunnel when the
peer device is a policy-based VPN device. Proxy IDs are used to identify the traffic that belongs to a
particular IPSec VPN and to direct it to the appropriate tunnel. Proxy IDs consist of a local IP address, a
remote IP address, and an application (protocol and port numbers). Each proxy ID is considered to be a
VPN tunnel and is counted towards the IPSec VPN tunnel capacity of the firewall. Proxy IDs are required
for IKEv1 VPNs and optional for IKEv2 VPNs. If the proxy ID is not configured, the firewall uses the
default values of source
IP: 0.0.0.0/0, destination IP: 0.0.0.0/0, and application: any, which may not match the peer's policy and
result in a failure to establish the VPN connection.

Q17. During the process of developing a decryption strategy and evaluating which websites are required
for corporate users to access, several sites have been identified that cannot be decrypted due to technical
reasons. In this case, the technical reason is unsupported ciphers Traffic to these sites will therefore be
blocked if decrypted.
How should the engineer proceed?

A. Install the unsupported cipher into the firewall to allow the sites to be decrypted
B. Allow the firewall to block the sites to improve the security posture.
C. Add the sites to the SSL Decryption Exclusion list to exempt them from decryption.
D. Create a Security policy to allow access to those sites.

Answer: C
Explanation:
If some sites cannot be decrypted due to technical reasons, such as unsupported ciphers, and blocking
them is not an option, then the engineer should add the sites to the SSL Decryption Exclusion list to
exempt them from decryption. The SSL Decryption Exclusion list is a predefined list of sites that are not
subject to SSL decryption by the firewall. The list includes sites that use certificate pinning, mutual
authentication, or unsupported cipher suites. The engineer can also add custom sites to the list if they
have a valid business reason or technical limitation for not decrypting them34. Adding the sites to the SSL
Decryption Exclusion list will allow the traffic to pass through without being decrypted or blocked by the
firewall. References: SSL Decryption Exclusion, Troubleshoot Unsupported Cipher Suites

Q21. A network security administrator has an environment with multiple forms of authentication. There is a
network access control system in place that authenticates and restricts access for wireless users, multiple
Windows domain controllers, and an MDM solution for company-provided smartphones. All of these
devices have their authentication events logged.
Given the information, what is the best choice for deploying User-ID to ensure maximum coverage?

A. Captive portal
B. Standalone User-ID agent
C. Syslog listener
D. Agentless User-ID with redistribution

Answer: C

Explanation:
A syslog listener is the best choice for deploying User-ID to ensure maximum coverage in an environment
with multiple forms of authentication. A syslog listener is a feature that enables the firewall or Panorama to
receive syslog messages from other systems and parse them for IP address-to-username mappings. A
syslog listener can collect user mapping information from a variety of sources, such as network access
control systems, domain controllers, MDM solutions, VPN gateways, wireless controllers, proxies, and
more2. A syslog listener can also support multiple platforms and operating systems, such as Windows,
Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, etc3. Therefore, a syslog listener can provide a comprehensive and flexible
solution for User-ID deployment in a large-scale network. References:

Q23. Which Panorama feature protects logs against data loss if a Panorama server fails?

A. Panorama HA automatically ensures that no logs are lost if a server fails inside the HA Cluster.
B. Panorama Collector Group with Log Redundancy ensures that no logs are lost if a server fails inside
the Collector Group.
C. Panorama HA with Log Redundancy ensures that no logs are lost if a server fails inside the HA Cluster.
D. Panorama Collector Group automatically ensures that no logs are lost if a server fails inside the
Collector Group

Answer: B

Explanation:
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/panorama/11-0/panorama-admin/manage-log-collection/manage-
collector-gr "Log redundancy is available only if each Log Collector has the same number of logging
disks."
(Recommended) Enable log redundancy across collectors if you are adding multiple Log Collectors to a
single Collector group. Redundancy ensures that no logs are lost if any one Log Collector becomes
unavailable. Each log will have two copies and each copy will reside on a different Log Collector. For
example, if you have two Log Collectors in the collector group the log is written to both Log Collectors.
Enabling redundancy creates more logs and therefore requires more storage capacity, reducing storage
capability in half. When a Collector Group runs out of space, it deletes older logs. Redundancy also
doubles the log processing traffic in a Collector Group, which reduces its maximum logging rate by half,
as each Log Collector must distribute a copy of each log it receives.

Q24. An engineer is tasked with deploying SSL Forward Proxy decryption for their organization. What
should they review with their leadership before implementation?

A. Browser-supported cipher documentation

B. Cipher documentation supported by the endpoint operating system
C. URL risk-based category distinctions
D. Legal compliance regulations and acceptable usage policies

Answer: D

Explanation:
The engineer should review the legal compliance regulations and acceptable usage policies with their
leadership before implementing SSL Forward Proxy decryption for their organization. SSL Forward Proxy
decryption allows the firewall to decrypt and inspect the traffic from internal users to external servers. This
can raise privacy and legal concerns for the users and the organization. Therefore, the engineer should
ensure that the leadership is aware of the implications and benefits of SSL Forward Proxy decryption and
that they have a clear policy for informing and obtaining consent from the users. Option A is incorrect
because browser-supported cipher documentation is not relevant for SSL Forward Proxy decryption. The
firewall uses its own cipher suite to negotiate encryption with the external server, regardless of the
browser settings. Option B is incorrect because cipher documentation supported by the endpoint
operating system is not relevant for SSL Forward Proxy decryption. The firewall uses its own cipher suite
to negotiate encryption with the external server, regardless of the endpoint operating system. Option C is
incorrect because URL risk-based category distinctions are not relevant for SSL Forward Proxy
decryption. The firewall can decrypt and inspect traffic based on any URL category, not just risk-based
ones.

Q25. Which type of policy in Palo Alto Networks firewalls can use Device-ID as a match condition?

A. NAT
B. DOS protection
C. QoS
D. Tunnel inspection

Answer: C

Explanation:
The type of policy in Palo Alto Networks firewalls that can use Device-ID as a match condition is QoS.
This is because Device-ID is a feature that allows the firewall to identify and classify devices on the
network based on their characteristics, such as vendor, model, OS, and role1. QoS policies are used to
allocate bandwidth and prioritize traffic based on various criteria, such as application, user, source,
destination, and device2. By using Device-ID as a match condition in QoS policies, the firewall can apply
different QoS actions to different types of devices, such as IoT devices, laptops, smartphones, etc3. This
can help optimize the network performance and ensure the quality of service for critical applications and
devices.

Q27. A company wants to add threat prevention to the network without redesigning the network routing.
What are two best practice deployment modes for the firewall? (Choose two.)

A. VirtualWire
B. Layer3
C. TAP
D. Layer2

Answer: AD

Explanation:

A and D are the best practice deployment modes for the firewall if the company wants to add threat
prevention to the network without redesigning the network routing. This is because these modes allow the
firewall to act as a transparent device that does not affect the existing network topology or routing1.

A: VirtualWire mode allows the firewall to be inserted into any existing network segment without changing
the IP addressing or routing of that segment2. The firewall inspects traffic between two interfaces that are
configured as a pair, called a virtual wire. The firewall applies security policies to the traffic and forwards it
to the same interface from which it was received2.

D: Layer 2 mode allows the firewall to act as a switch that forwards traffic based on MAC addresses3.
The firewall inspects traffic between interfaces that are configured as Layer 2 interfaces and belong to the
same VLAN. The firewall applies security policies to the traffic and forwards it to the appropriate interface
based on the MAC address table3.

Q33. The decision to upgrade PAN-OS has been approved. The engineer begins the process by
upgrading the Panorama servers, but gets an error when attempting the install.
When performing an upgrade on Panorama to PAN-OS. what is the potential cause of a failed install?

A. Outdated plugins
B. Global Protect agent version
C. Expired certificates
D. Management only mode

Answer: A

Explanation:
One of the potential causes of a failed install when upgrading Panorama to PAN-OS is having outdated
plugins. Plugins are software extensions that enable Panorama to interact with Palo Alto Networks cloud
services and third-party services. Plugins have dependencies on specific PAN-OS versions, so they must
be updated before or after upgrading Panorama, depending on the plugin compatibility matrix2. If the
plugins are not updated accordingly, the upgrade process may fail or cause issues with Panorama
functionality3. References: Panorama Plugins Upgrade/Downgrade Considerations, Troubleshoot Your
Panorama Upgrade, PCNSE Study Guide (page 54)

Q34. In the New App Viewer under Policy Optimizer, what does the compare option for a specific rule
allow an administrator to compare?

A. The running configuration with the candidate configuration of the firewall

B. Applications configured in the rule with applications seen from traffic matching the same rule
C. Applications configured in the rule with their dependencies
D. The security rule with any other security rule selected

Answer: B

Explanation:
The compare option for a specific rule in the New App Viewer under Policy Optimizer allows an
administrator to compare the applications configured in the rule with the applications seen from traffic
matching the same rule. This helps the administrator to identify any new applications that are not explicitly
defined in the rule, but are implicitly allowed by the firewall based on the dependencies of the configured
applications. The compare option also shows the usage statistics and risk levels of the applications, and
provides suggestions for optimizing the rule by adding, removing, or replacing applications12.

Q35. Which three authentication types can be used to authenticate users? (Choose three.)

A. Local database authentication

B. PingID
C. Kerberos single sign-on
D. GlobalProtect client
E. Cloud authentication service

Answer: ACE

Explanation:
The three authentication types that can be used to authenticate users are:

A: Local database authentication. This is the authentication type that uses the local user database on the
firewall or Panorama to store and verify user credentials1.

C: Cloud authentication service. This is the authentication type that uses a cloud-based identity provider
such as Okta, PingOne, or PingFederate, to authenticate users and provide SAML assertions to the
firewall or Panorama2.

E: Kerberos single sign-on. This is the authentication type that uses the Kerberos protocol to authenticate
users who are logged in to a Windows domain and provide them with seamless access to resources on
the firewall or Panorama3.

Q36. Refer to Exhibit:

An administrator can not see any Traffic logs from the Palo Alto Networks NGFW in Panorama reports.

Q37. Review the screenshot of the Certificates page.
An administrator for a small LLC has created a series of certificates as shown, to use for a planned
Decryption roll out. The administrator has also installed the self- signed root certificate in all client
systems.
When testing, they noticed that every time a user visited an SSL site, they received unsecured website
warnings.
What is the cause of the unsecured website warnings?

A. The forward untrust certificate has not been signed by the self-singed root CA certificate.
B. The forward trust certificate has not been installed in client systems.
C. The self-signed CA certificate has the same CN as the forward trust and untrust certificates.
D. The forward trust certificate has not been signed by the self-singed root CA certificate.

Answer: D

Explanation:
The cause of the unsecured website warnings is that the forward trust certificate has not been signed by
the self-signed root CA certificate. The forward trust certificate is used by the firewall to generate a copy
of the server certificate for outbound SSL decryption (SSL Forward Proxy). The firewall signs the copy
with the forward trust certificate and presents it to the client. The client then verifies the signature using
the public key of the CA that issued the forward trust certificate. If the client does not trust the CA, it will
display a warning message. Therefore, the forward trust certificate must be signed by a CA that is trusted
by the client. In this case, the administrator has installed the self-signed root CA certificate in all client
systems, so this CA should be used to sign the forward trust certificate. However, as shown in the
screenshot, the forward trust certificate has a different issuer than the self-signed root CA certificate,
which means it has not been signed by it. This causes the client to reject the signature and show a
warning message. To fix this issue, the administrator should generate a new forward trust certificate and
sign it with the self-signed root CA certificate12. References: Keys and Certificates for Decryption
Policies, How to Configure SSL Decryptio

Q38. An engineer must configure a new SSL decryption deployment.
Which profile or certificate is required before any traffic that matches an SSL decryption rule is decrypted?

A. A Decryption profile must be attached to the Decryption policy that the traffic matches.
B. A Decryption profile must be attached to the Security policy that the traffic matches.
C. There must be a certificate with only the Forward Trust option selected.
D. There must be a certificate with both the Forward Trust option and Forward Untrust option selected.

Answer: A

Explanation:
To use PAN-OS multi-factor authentication (MFA) to secure access to critical assets, the enterprise should
configure a Captive Portal authentication policy that uses an authentication sequence. An authentication
sequence is a feature that allows the firewall to enforce multiple authentication methods (factors) for users
who access sensitive services or applications. An authentication sequence can include up to four factors,
such as login and password, Voice, SMS, Push, or One- time Password (OTP) authentication. The
firewall can integrate with MFA vendors through RADIUS or vendor APIs to provide the additional
factors12. To configure an authentication sequence, the enterprise needs to create an authentication
profile for each factor and then add them to the sequence in the desired order. The enterprise also needs
to create a Captive Portal authentication policy that matches the traffic that requires MFA and applies the
authentication sequence to it. The Captive Portal is a web page that the firewall displays to users who
need to authenticate before accessing the network or the internet. The Captive Portal can be customized
to include a welcome message, a login prompt, a disclaimer, a certificate download link, and a logout
button34. When a user tries to access a service or application that matches the Captive Portal
authentication policy, the firewall redirects the user to the Captive Portal web form for the first factor. After
the user successfully authenticates for the first factor, the firewall prompts the user for the second factor
through RADIUS or vendor API integration. The firewall repeats this process until all factors in the
sequence are completed or until one factor fails. If all factors are completed successfully, the firewall
allows the user to access the service or application. If one factor fails, the firewall denies access and logs
an event56. Configuring a Captive Portal authentication policy that uses an authentication profile that
references a RADIUS profile is not sufficient to use PAN-OS MFA. This option only provides one factor of
authentication through RADIUS integration with an MFA vendor. To use multiple factors of authentication,
an authentication sequence is required.
Creating an authentication profile and assigning another authentication factor to be used by a Captive
Portal authentication policy is not correct to use PAN-OS MFA. This option does not specify how to create
or apply an authentication sequence, which is necessary for enforcing multiple factors of authentication.
Using a Credential Phishing agent to detect, prevent, and mitigate credential phishing campaigns is not
relevant to use PAN-OS MFA. This option is a feature of Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDRTM that helps
protect endpoints from credential theft by malicious actors. It does not provide any MFA functionality for
accessing critical assets7. References: Authentication Sequence, Configure Multi-Factor Authentication,
