A branch office uses both MPLS and Broadband. The design requires that business-critical traffic prefers MPLS, failing over to Broadband only if the MPLS path experiences packet loss exceeding 1%. Which metric should the PFR policy utilize?
2A customer requires a granular segmentation strategy where HR, Engineering, and Guest traffic must remain isolated across the SD-WAN fabric. Which configuration construct provides this logical separation?
3A network architect is designing a branch site deployment requiring sub-second failover. Which Prisma SD-WAN component must be configured to prioritize real-time traffic across multiple transport paths based on path quality metrics?
4Which Prisma SD-WAN tool is used to monitor real-time health and performance of the SD-WAN fabric during the deployment phase?
5What is the primary function of the CloudBlades platform in the Prisma SD-WAN architecture?
6During pre-deployment planning for a high-security site, you must implement an identity-aware firewall policy. Where is this configuration mapped in the Prisma SD-WAN Controller?
7You are designing a hub-and-spoke topology where spokes need to communicate directly under specific conditions. Which feature should be enabled to optimize latency and minimize load on the regional hub?
8When designing a multi-tenant environment, how does the Prisma SD-WAN Controller ensure that management traffic is separated for each entity?
9You are configuring a branch site with a dual-ISP setup. What is the correct order of operations for defining transport interfaces?
10When integrating Prisma SD-WAN with a cloud-based security service provider (CSSP) via CloudBlades, which setting must be verified to ensure proper traffic redirection?
11Which protocol is utilized for the auto-discovery of Prisma SD-WAN Gateways during site provisioning?
12Which Prisma SD-WAN feature enables the automatic configuration of security parameters for a new gateway?
13During the design of a large-scale data center migration, you need to extend Layer 2 domains across the SD-WAN fabric. Which mechanism supports this requirement?
14You need to ensure that branch office voice traffic always has the lowest latency. Which QoS classification strategy is recommended?
15A site deployment requires specific traffic to be exempted from the SD-WAN optimization process to ensure compatibility with a legacy application. Which policy should be updated?
16A customer wants to deploy a Hub-and-Spoke model with redundant hubs. What must be configured to ensure seamless transition if the primary hub fails?
17What is the purpose of the 'site-id' in the Prisma SD-WAN branch configuration?
18You are designing an SD-WAN path for a high-bandwidth application that is sensitive to out-of-order packets. Which configuration setting minimizes packet reordering in a multi-path environment?
19Which command or interface path is used to verify the status of the SD-WAN tunnel between two branch sites?
20In the context of the SD-WAN Controller, what does the 'Template' object represent?
21You are troubleshooting a performance issue where traffic is not taking the expected 'optimal' path. Which tool should you examine first to see the PFR path selection decision?
22A retail customer needs to prioritize POS (Point of Sale) traffic over guest WiFi. Which policy type governs this bandwidth allocation?
23A company is migrating to a cloud-native architecture. How does Prisma SD-WAN support multi-cloud connectivity?
24You need to allow direct internet access for SaaS applications from the branch site. What is the correct term for this configuration?
25Which Prisma SD-WAN interface is used to connect to the local LAN?
26You want to audit who changed a policy on the Controller. Where is this information logged?
27When setting up a branch, you need to define the 'Underlay' transport. What does this refer to?
28To ensure high availability, you are implementing Active-Active gateway deployment at a large branch. What is required for this to work correctly?
29Which criteria can be used to steer traffic in a Performance Routing policy? (Choose TWO)
30Which of the following are valid transport types that can be defined in a Prisma SD-WAN site configuration? (Choose TWO)
31Which factors should be considered when designing the placement of a regional hub in a Prisma SD-WAN architecture? (Choose TWO)
32When planning for a large-scale deployment, which items are required for the initial site information gather? (Choose THREE)
33Which of the following are components of the Prisma SD-WAN Controller interface? (Choose TWO)
34What are the primary benefits of implementing a hub-and-spoke design with Prisma SD-WAN? (Choose THREE)
35In a multi-tenant Prisma SD-WAN design, what can be partitioned per tenant? (Choose THREE)
36Which are valid methods to connect a branch to the SD-WAN fabric? (Choose TWO)
37Which of these tasks are part of the pre-deployment planning phase for Prisma SD-WAN? (Choose TWO)
38Which types of traffic should ideally be prioritized via QoS policies? (Choose TWO)
39Which aspects of a site's network are required for configuring the SD-WAN Controller? (Choose TWO)
40When implementing a CloudBlade for a cloud security service, what must be configured? (Choose THREE)
