    • Custom Panorama Admin
    • Device Group
    • Dynamic
    • Template Admin
  9. Which option enables a Palo Alto Networks NGFW administrator to schedule Application and Threat updates while applying only new content-IDs to traffic?

    • Select download-and-install
    • Select download-only
    • Select download-and-install, with “Disable new apps in content update” selected
    • Select disable application updates and select “Install only Threat updates”
  10. Which is the maximum number of samples that can be submitted to WildFire per day, based on a WildFire subscription?

    • 10,000
    • 15,000
    • 7,500
    • 5,000
  11. In which two types of deployment is active/active HA configuration supported? (Choose two.)

    • Layer 3 mode
    • TAP mode
    • Virtual Wire mode
    • Layer 2 mode
  12. For which two reasons would a firewall discard a packet as part of the packet flow sequence? (Choose two.)

    • ingress processing errors
    • rule match with action “deny”
    • rule match with action “allow”
    • equal-cost multipath
  13. Which logs enable a firewall administrator to determine whether a session was decrypted?

    • Traffic
    • Security Policy
    • Decryption
    • Correlated Event
  14. An administrator needs to upgrade an NGFW to the most current version of PAN-OS® software. The following is occurring:

    – Firewall has internet connectivity through e 1/1.
    – Default security rules and security rules allowing all SSL and web-browsing traffic to and from any zone.
    – Service route is configured, sourcing update traffic from e1/1.
    – A communication error appears in the System logs when updates are performed.
    – Download does not complete.

    What must be configured to enable the firewall to download the current version of PAN-OS software?

    • Static route pointing application PaloAlto-updates to the update servers
    • Security policy rule allowing PaloAlto-updates as the application
    • Scheduler for timed downloads of PAN-OS software
    • DNS settings for the firewall to use for resolution
  15. A client has a sensitive application server in their data center and is particularly concerned about session flooding because of denial-of-service attacks.

    How can the Palo Alto Networks NGFW be configured to specifically protect this server against session floods originating from a single IP address?

    • Add an Anti-Spyware Profile to block attacking IP address
    • Define a custom App-ID to ensure that only legitimate application traffic reaches the server
    • Add QoS Profiles to throttle incoming requests
    • Add a tuned DoS Protection Profile
  16. An administrator deploys PA-500 NGFWs as an active/passive high availability pair. The devices are not participating in dynamic routing, and preemption is disabled.

    What must be verified to upgrade the firewalls to the most recent version of PAN-OS® software?

    • Antivirus update package.
    • Applications and Threats update package. 
    • User-ID agent.
    • WildFire update package.

  17. A firewall administrator has been asked to configure a Palo Alto Networks NGFW to prevent against compromised hosts trying to phone-home or beacon out to external command-and-control (C2) servers.

    Which Security Profile type will prevent these behaviors?

    • Anti-Spyware
    • WildFire
    • Vulnerability Protection
    • Antivirus

  18. What should an administrator consider when planning to revert Panorama to a pre-PAN-OS 8.1 version?

    • Panorama cannot be reverted to an earlier PAN-OS release if variables are used in templates or template stacks.
    • An administrator must use the Expedition tool to adapt the configuration to the pre-PAN-OS 8.1 state.
    • When Panorama is reverted to an earlier PAN-OS release, variables used in templates or template stacks will be removed automatically.
    • Administrators need to manually update variable characters to those used in pre-PAN-OS 8.1.
