NEW QUESTION # 13
A PA-Series firewall with all licensable features is being installed. The customer's Security policy requires that users do not directly access websites. Instead, a security device must create the connection, and there must be authentication back to the Active Directory servers for all sessions.
Which action meets the requirements in this scenario?
- A. Deploy the Next-Generation Firewalls as normal and install the User-ID agent.
- B. Deploy the Advanced URL Filtering license and captive portal.
- C. Deploy the explicit proxy with Kerberos authentication scheme.
- D. Deploy the transparent proxy with Web Cache Communications Protocol (WCCP).
Answer: C
Explanation:
In this scenario, the customer requires that users do not directly access websites and that a security device (the firewall) manages the connection, while also ensuring that there is authentication back to the Active Directory (AD) servers for all sessions. The explicit proxy with Kerberos authentication is the best solution because:
The explicit proxy allows the firewall to intercept user web traffic and manage the connections on behalf of users.
Kerberos authentication ensures that the user's identity is validated against the Active Directory servers before the session is allowed, fulfilling the authentication requirement.

NEW QUESTION # 15
Which two actions in the IKE Gateways will allow implementation of post-quantum cryptography when building VPNs between multiple Palo Alto Networks NGFWs? (Choose two.)
- A. Select IKE v2, enable the Advanced Options * PQ PPK, then set a 64+ character string for the post-quantum pre shared key.
- B. Select IKE v2, enable the Advanced Options * PQ KEM, then create an IKE Crypto Profile with Advanced Options adding one or more "Rounds."
- C. Select IKE v2 Preferred, enable the Advanced Options * PQ KEM, then add one or more "Rounds."
- D. Ensure Authentication is set to "certificate," then import a post-quantum derived certificate.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
To implement post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in VPNs between Palo Alto Networks NGFWs, you would enable the PQ KEM (Post-Quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism) in the IKE gateway configuration. This enables the firewall to use quantum-resistant encryption for key exchange, which is an essential part of securing communications against the potential future threats posed by quantum computing.
By selecting IKE v2 Preferred and enabling the PQ KEM option under Advanced Options, you can add specific Rounds for the post-quantum cryptography process, which will help in implementing quantum-resistant key exchange methods.
This option similarly selects IKE v2 and enables PQ KEM while also creating a dedicated IKE Crypto Profile with the necessary Rounds configured for post-quantum cryptography.
NEW QUESTION # 16
After an engineer configures an IPSec tunnel with a Cisco ASA, the Palo Alto Networks firewall generates system messages reporting the tunnel is failing to establish.
Which of the following actions will resolve this issue?
- A. Check that IPSec is enabled in the management profile on the external interface.
- B. Configure the Proxy IDs to match the Cisco ASA configuration.
- C. Ensure that an active static or dynamic route exists for the VPN peer with next hop as the tunnel interface.
- D. Validate the tunnel interface VLAN against the peer's configuration.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Proxy IDs (or Traffic Selectors) define the local and remote subnets that are allowed to communicate over the IPSec tunnel. If the Proxy IDs on the Palo Alto Networks firewall do not match the configuration on the Cisco ASA, the tunnel will fail to establish because the firewalls won't agree on which traffic to encrypt. Ensuring that the Proxy IDs match between the Palo Alto Networks firewall and the Cisco ASA will resolve the issue.
NEW QUESTION # 17
Which two statements describe an external zone in the context of virtual systems (VSYS) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall? (Choose two.)
- A. It is associated with an interface within a VSYS of a firewall.
- B. It is a security object associated with a specific VSYS.
- C. It is not associated with an interface; it is associated with a VSYS itself.
- D. It is a security object associated with a specific virtual router of a VSYS.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
In the context of virtual systems (VSYS) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, the external zone is typically associated with specific interfaces within a VSYS. Zones are fundamental security objects used to define traffic flow between interfaces, and the external zone would be used for interfaces that connect to external networks.
An external zone is associated with an interface within a VSYS of the firewall. This ensures that traffic from specific interfaces can be classified as belonging to the external zone, allowing the firewall to apply appropriate security policies.
The external zone is indeed a security object that is specific to a given VSYS, as each VSYS can have its own set of zones that are isolated from others.
NEW QUESTION # 18
An administrator plans to upgrade a pair of active/passive firewalls to a new PAN-OS release. The environment is highly sensitive, and downtime must be minimized.
What is the recommended upgrade process for minimal disruption in this high availability (HA) scenario?
- A. Isolate both firewalls from the production environment and upgrade them in a separate, offline setup. Reconnect them only after validating the new software version, resuming HA functionality once both units are fully upgraded and tested.
- B. Push the new PAN-OS version simultaneously to both firewalls, having them upgrade and reboot in parallel. Rely on automated HA reconvergence to restore normal operations without manually failing over traffic.
- C. Suspend the active firewall to trigger a failover to the passive firewall. With traffic now running on the former passive unit, upgrade the suspended (now passive) firewall and confirm proper operation. Then fail traffic back and upgrade the remaining firewall.
- D. Shut down the currently active firewall and upgrade it offline, allowing the passive firewall to handle all traffic. Once the active firewall finishes upgrading, bring it back online and rejoin the HA cluster. Finally, upgrade the passive firewall while the newly upgraded unit remains active.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In an active/passive HA setup, the recommended process for upgrading involves minimizing downtime and ensuring traffic continuity by using the failover process:
Suspend the active firewall: This triggers a failover to the passive unit, making it the active unit.
Upgrade the former passive (now active) unit: With traffic now running on the previously passive unit, upgrade the suspended unit while the active unit continues handling traffic.
Confirm proper operation: Once the upgrade is complete, verify that the upgraded unit is functioning properly.
Fail traffic back: Once the upgraded firewall is confirmed to be working, fail the traffic back to the original active unit and upgrade the remaining firewall.

What must be configured before a firewall administrator can define policy rules based on users and groups?
- A. User Mapping profile
- B. LDAP Server profile
- C. Group mapping settings
- D. Authentication profile
Answer: C
Explanation:
Before a firewall administrator can define policy rules based on users and groups, the Group Mapping settings must be configured. These settings enable the firewall to map users to their respective Active Directory (AD) groups. This mapping allows the firewall to use user and group information to create policy rules based on group membership.
NEW QUESTION # 31
An NGFW engineer is configuring multiple Layer 2 interfaces on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, and all interfaces must be assigned to the same VLAN. During initial testing, it is reported that clients located behind the various interfaces cannot communicate with each other.
Which action taken by the engineer will resolve this issue?
- A. Enable IP routing between the interfaces and configure a Security policy to allow traffic between interfaces within the VLAN.
- B. Assign each interface to the appropriate Layer 2 zone and configure a policy that allows traffic within the VLAN.
- C. Assign each interface to the appropriate Layer 2 zone and configure Security policies for interfaces not assigned to the same zone.
- D. Configure each interface to belong to the same Layer 2 zone and enable IP routing between them.
Answer: B
Explanation:
In a Layer 2 configuration, interfaces are typically grouped into the same Layer 2 zone. When the interfaces are assigned to the same VLAN, the firewall will treat them as part of the same broadcast domain.
In a Layer 2 setup, interfaces must be in the same Layer 2 zone to allow the traffic within the same VLAN to pass. Additionally, a security policy must be configured to allow traffic within this VLAN or zone. This will resolve the issue by ensuring that traffic is permitted between clients behind different interfaces assigned to the same VLAN.
