NEW QUESTION 182
An administrator has 750 firewalls The administrator’s central-management Panorama instance deploys dynamic updates to the firewalls The administrator notices that the dynamic updates from Panorama do not appear on some of the firewalls If Panorama pushes the configuration of a dynamic update schedule to managed firewalls, but the configuration does not appear what is the root cause?

Panorama has no connection to Palo Alto Networks update servers

Panorama does not have valid licenses to push the dynamic updates

No service route is configured on the firewalls to Palo Alto Networks update servers

Locally-defined dynamic update settings take precedence over the settings that Panorama pushed

NEW QUESTION 183
An administrator using an enterprise PKI needs to establish a unique chain of trust to ensure mutual authentication between Panorama and the managed firewalls and Log Collectors.
How would the administrator establish the chain of trust?

Use custom certificates

Enable LDAP or RADIUS integration

Set up multi-factor authentication

Configure strong password authentication

NEW QUESTION 184
What type of address object would be useful for internal devices where the addressing structure assigns meaning to certain bits in the address, as illustrated in the diagram?

IP Netmask

IP Wildcard Mask

IP Address

IP Range

NEW QUESTION 185
What best describes the HA Promotion Hold Time?

the time that is recommended to avoid an HA failover due to the occasional flapping of neighboring devices

the time that is recommended to avoid a failover when both firewalls experience the same link/path monitor failure simultaneously

the time that the passive firewall will wait before taking over as the active firewall after communications with the HA peer have been lost

the time that a passive firewall with a low device priority will wait before taking over as the active firewall if the firewall is operational again

NEW QUESTION 186
An administrator receives the following error message:
“IKE phase-2 negotiation failed when processing Proxy ID. Received local id 192. 168.33.33/24 type IPv4 address protocol 0 port 0, received remote id
172.16.33.33/24 type IPv4 address protocol 0 port 0.”
How should the administrator identify the root cause of this error message?

Verify that the IP addresses can be pinged and that routing issues are not causing the connection failure.

Check whether the VPN peer on one end is set up correctly using policy-based VPN.

In the IKE Gateway configuration, verify that the IP address for each VPN peer is accurate.

In the IPSec Crypto profile configuration, verify that PFS is either enabled on both VPN peers or disabled on both VPN peers.

Which two actions can be taken on the firewall to allow the dropped traffic permanently? (Choose two.)

Navigate to Network > Zone Protection Click Add
Select Packet Based Attack Protection > TCP/IP Drop Set “Reject Non-syn-TCP” to No Set “Asymmetric Path” to Bypass

> set session tcp-reject-non-syn no

Navigate to Network > Zone Protection Click Add
Select Packet Based Attack Protection > TCP/IP Drop Set “Reject Non-syn-TCP” to Global Set “Asymmetric Path” to Global

# set deviceconfig setting session tcp-reject-non-syn no

NEW QUESTION 189
Which three multi-factor authentication methods can be used to authenticate access to the firewall? (Choose three.)

One-time password

User certificate

Voice

SMS

Fingerprint

NEW QUESTION 190
A company.com wants to enable Application Override. Given the following screenshot:

Which two statements are true if Source and Destination traffic match the Application Override policy? (Choose two)

Traffic that matches “rtp-base” will bypass the App-ID and Content-ID engines.

Traffic will be forced to operate over UDP Port 16384.

Traffic utilizing UDP Port 16384 will now be identified as “rtp-base”.

Traffic utilizing UDP Port 16384 will bypass the App-ID and Content-ID engines.

NEW QUESTION 191
An organization has recently migrated its infrastructure and configuration to NGFWs, for which Panorama manages the devices The organization is coming from a L2-L4 firewall vendor, but wants to use App-ID while identifying policies that are no longer needed
Which Panorama tool can help this organization?

Config Audit

Policy Optimizer

Application Groups

Test Policy Match

NEW QUESTION 192
What are three valid qualifiers for a Decryption Policy Rule match? (Choose three )

Destination Zone

App-ID

Custom URL Category

User-ID

Source Interface

NEW QUESTION 193
A company has recently migrated their branch office’s PA-220S to a centralized Panorama. This Panorama manages a number of PA-7000 Series and PA-5200 Series devices All device group and template configuration is managed solely within Panorama They notice that commit times have drastically increased for the PA-220S after the migration What can they do to reduce commit times?

Disable “Share Unused Address and Service Objects with Devices” in Panorama Settings.

Update the apps and threat version using device-deployment

Perform a device group push using the “merge with device candidate config” option

Use “export or push device config bundle” to ensure that the firewall is integrated with the Panorama config.

Explanation
According to the Palo Alto Networks documentation1, disabling “Share Unused Address and Service Objects with Devices” in Panorama Settings is a possible solution to reduce commit times for firewalls managed by Panorama. This option prevents Panorama from pushing address and service objects that are not used in any policy rules to the firewalls, which can reduce the size of the configuration and improve the commit performance. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
The other options are not relevant or effective for reducing commit times:
Update the apps and threat version using device-deployment: This option would not help because it is not related to the commit process. Updating the apps and threat version using device-deployment is a feature that allows Panorama to distribute content updates to firewalls without requiring a commit2.
Perform a device group push using the “merge with device candidate config” option: This option would not help because it is not related to the commit performance. Performing a device group push using the
“merge with device candidate config” option is a feature that allows Panorama to merge the local changes on a firewall with the Panorama configuration without overwriting them3.
Use “export or push device config bundle” to ensure that the firewall is integrated with the Panorama config: This option would not help because it is not related to the commit performance. Using “export or push device config bundle” is a feature that allows Panorama to export or push a complete configuration bundle to a firewall, which can be useful for troubleshooting or migrating configurations4.

NEW QUESTION 194
View the GlobalProtect configuration screen capture.
What is the purpose of this configuration?

It configures the tunnel address of all internal clients to an IP address range starting at
192.168.10.1.

It forces an internal client to connect to an internal gateway at IP address 192.168.10.1.

It enables a client to perform a reverse DNS lookup on 192.168.10.1 to detect that it is an internal client.

It forces the firewall to perform a dynamic DNS update, which adds the internal gateway’s hostname and IP address to the DNS server.

NEW QUESTION 195
After pushing a security policy from Panorama to a PA-3020 firewall, the firewall administrator notices that traffic logs from the PA-3020 are not appearing in Panorama’s traffic logs. What could be the problem?

A Server Profile has not been configured for logging to this Panorama device.

Panorama is not licensed to receive logs from this particular firewall.

The firewall is not licensed for logging to this Panorama device.

None of the firewall’s policies have been assigned a Log Forwarding profile

NEW QUESTION 196
