PCNSA : Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator : Part 02

  1. Recently changes were made to the firewall to optimize the policies and the security team wants to see if those changes are helping.

    What is the quickest way to reset the hit counter to zero in all the security policy rules?

    • At the CLI enter the command reset rules and press Enter
    • Highlight a rule and use the Reset Rule Hit Counter > Selected Rules for each rule
    • Reboot the firewall
    • Use the Reset Rule Hit Counter > All Rules option

  3. Which User-ID agent would be appropriate in a network with multiple WAN links, limited network bandwidth, and limited firewall management plane resources?

    • Windows-based agent deployed on the internal network 
    • PAN-OS integrated agent deployed on the internal network

  4. Your company requires positive username attribution of every IP address used by wireless devices to support a new compliance requirement. You must collect IP –to-user mappings as soon as possible with minimal downtime and minimal configuration changes to the wireless devices themselves. The wireless devices are from various manufactures.

    Given the scenario, choose the option for sending IP-to-user mappings to the NGFW.

    • syslog 
    • RADIUS
    • UID redistribution
    • XFF headers
  5. An administrator receives a global notification for a new malware that infects hosts. The infection will result in the infected host attempting to contact a command-and-control (C2) server.

    Which two security profile components will detect and prevent this threat after the firewall’s signature database has been updated? (Choose two.)

    • vulnerability protection profile applied to outbound security policies
    • anti-spyware profile applied to outbound security policies
    • antivirus profile applied to outbound security policies
    • URL filtering profile applied to outbound security policies

  7. Identify the correct order to configure the PAN-OS integrated USER-ID agent.

    3. add the service account to monitor the server(s)
    2. define the address of the servers to be monitored on the firewall
    4. commit the configuration, and verify agent connection status
    1. create a service account on the Domain Controller with sufficient permissions to execute the User- ID agent

    • 2-3-4-1
    • 1-4-3-2
    • 3-1-2-4
    • 1-3-2-4
  8. Users from the internal zone need to be allowed to Telnet into a server in the DMZ zone.

    Complete the security policy to ensure only Telnet is allowed.

    Security Policy: Source Zone: Internal to DMZ Zone __________services “Application defaults”, and action = Allow

    • Destination IP: 192.168.1.123/24
    • Application = “Telnet”
    • Log Forwarding
    • USER-ID = “Allow users in Trusted”
  9. Based on the security policy rules shown, ssh will be allowed on which port?
