Which TWO methods can be used to identify traffic using App-ID when port-based rules are insufficient?
2An administrator needs to allow traffic from the internal network to a public web server using Source NAT. Which configuration is required to ensure the internal client IP is translated to the firewall's public interface IP?
3You are designing a QoS policy. You want to prioritize VoIP traffic over bulk file transfers. Which component must you create to classify the VoIP traffic?
4Which THREE steps are required to correctly implement User-ID mapping using the Windows-based User-ID agent?
5When configuring a QoS policy, what is the first step the administrator must take to ensure the traffic is correctly prioritized?
6You are configuring a Security policy to allow web traffic. Why should you place the most specific rules at the top of the Security policy list?
7Which TWO settings must be correctly configured to ensure User-ID can properly map an IP address to a user identity in a multi-site environment?
8A user is unable to access a web application. The security policy log shows the traffic is hitting the default 'deny' rule. What is the most effective way to troubleshoot the App-ID identification?
9An administrator configured a security policy with an App-ID of 'web-browsing' and 'ssl', but users cannot access a specific internal portal. The logs show 'ssl' and 'web-browsing' are matched, but the session is dropped. What is the likely cause?
10An administrator wants to ensure that all internal traffic to the internet is encrypted. Which policy type would be used to enforce this?
11Which THREE conditions must be met for a NAT policy to be successfully applied to an incoming packet?
12Which TWO options describe valid ways to handle traffic that is identified as 'unknown-tcp' in a security policy?
13When creating a NAT policy, which field defines the address that the traffic will be translated to on the destination side?
14What is the function of an 'Application Group' in PAN-OS policy creation?
15Which component is required to enable User-ID integration with Microsoft Active Directory using the Windows-based User-ID Agent?
16An administrator notices that some traffic is not hitting the desired QoS policy. What is the most likely reason?
17Which tab in the Palo Alto Networks GUI is primarily used to manage Security and NAT policies?
18Which THREE items can be used as a match criterion in a Security Policy?
19A policy rule is configured for 'web-browsing' and 'ssl', but the traffic is being dropped. The logs indicate the application is 'google-base'. What is the most appropriate fix?
20If an administrator wants to ensure that a specific server can only be accessed from a specific internal subnet, where is this best configured?
21Which configuration menu allows you to define an address object?
22An administrator needs to perform NAT for a server that is in a DMZ but accessed via the public internet. Which NAT rule type is used for this?
23Which THREE features are associated with an 'Application Filter'?
24Which TWO items must be matched in a QoS policy?
25Which THREE components are required for an Application Override policy?
26An administrator wants to permit traffic based on a specific User-ID group. Where should this group be referenced in the Security Policy?
27What is the purpose of the 'Service' field in a Security Policy?
28When configuring App-ID, how does the firewall identify traffic?
29An organization has a strict requirement that all web traffic must be inspected. Which policy is required in addition to the Security policy to achieve this?
30What is the result of applying a 'Log at Session End' setting in a security policy?
31Which THREE criteria are used to determine which security policy rule a packet matches?
32Which object type should be used when you want to group several address objects together?
33An administrator wants to prioritize VoIP traffic over all other traffic. Which policy type is the best choice?
34Which THREE settings must be configured to allow inbound NAT traffic for a web server?
35What is the purpose of the 'Zone' in a Palo Alto Networks firewall?
36Which TWO of the following are valid source types for a Security Policy?
37Which THREE items are required for a valid QoS policy match?
38What happens if a packet matches multiple security policies?
39If an administrator creates an Application Override policy, what impact does it have on security inspection?
40Which of the following is the most efficient way to manage NAT policies for multiple similar servers?
41Which TWO items are considered 'Objects' in the PAN-OS environment?
42Which THREE actions can be applied to a Security Policy rule?
43What is the purpose of the 'Policy Optimizer' feature?
44Why might an Application Override policy be preferred over a Security Policy for a specific custom application?
45Which configuration setting in a security policy rule is responsible for matching users based on their active directory group?
46When you use an Application Group in a policy, what happens if you add a new application to that group?
47Which THREE requirements must be met to enable User-ID integration with Microsoft Active Directory?
48Which tab would you use to add a new Security policy rule?
49Which of the following describes an 'Address Object'?
50What is the primary difference between a 'Service' object and an 'App-ID' in a security policy?
51A user is accessing an application, but the traffic is logged as 'unknown-udp'. What is the recommended way to secure this without allowing all UDP traffic?
