A network administrator is configuring Prisma SD-WAN to integrate with Prisma Access using the Automated Service Connection. During the onboarding process, which specific parameter must be configured in the ION device's service route to ensure traffic is correctly steered to the Prisma Access Service Infrastructure?
2You are deploying Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) to enable identity-based security policies across your SD-WAN and SASE environment. Which configuration step is required to ensure that user identity information is successfully propagated from the enterprise directory to the Prisma Access security nodes?
3When onboarding a new branch site into a Unified SASE environment, what is the prerequisite for the branch ION device to establish a tunnel to Prisma Access?
4In a Unified SASE architecture, an administrator needs to ensure that branch offices prioritize voice traffic while using Prisma Access. Where should the Quality of Service (QoS) policy be defined to ensure consistent application performance?
5A customer is experiencing intermittent connectivity to internal applications after enabling Unified SASE. Traffic is being routed through Prisma Access. What is the most likely cause?
6An engineer is troubleshooting a scenario where users at a branch office cannot access SaaS applications via Prisma Access. The SD-WAN path is active, but the traffic is not reaching the Cloud SWG. What is the most likely cause related to the Unified SASE policy?
7You are verifying the status of a Service Connection between a branch ION and Prisma Access. Which command or dashboard view provides the most accurate status of the tunnel reachability?
8An organization is migrating to Unified SASE. When configuring the 'Direct to App' policy for branch offices, what is the primary benefit of leveraging the Prisma SD-WAN integration with Prisma Access?
9What is the primary function of the 'Cloud Identity Engine' in the Unified SASE architecture?
10Which component in the Unified SASE stack is responsible for enforcing URL filtering and threat prevention policies for remote users?
11An administrator wants to ensure that all traffic from a specific branch is routed to Prisma Access, but bypasses the Cloud SWG for specific trusted SaaS applications. How is this achieved?
12When defining an Application Steering Policy in a Unified SASE environment, what is the advantage of using 'Application Groups'?
13In a scenario where a branch office loses its internet connection, what happens to the Unified SASE connection?
14When integrating Prisma SD-WAN with Prisma Access, how does the system ensure that the security policy is applied to the traffic correctly based on the user's identity?
15You are monitoring traffic in a Unified SASE environment. You notice that traffic from a branch is taking a non-optimal path to Prisma Access. Which tool would you use to verify the path selection logic?
16What is the role of the 'Service Connection' in the Prisma SD-WAN interface?
17Which protocol is primarily used for the tunnel between the ION device and the Prisma Access Service Infrastructure?
18Which of the following is a benefit of a Unified SASE architecture?
19In a Unified SASE deployment, what is the significance of the ION device serial number?
20When troubleshooting a persistent 'Service Connection Down' status, which log type is most relevant?
21An administrator wants to limit the bandwidth used by a specific application when routed to Prisma Access. Where is this configured?
22If a user is incorrectly identified in a SASE security log, which part of the Unified SASE architecture should be investigated first?
23When using a Service Connection, what happens if the Prisma Access node is unreachable?
24What is the purpose of the 'Zone' configuration on an ION device in a Unified SASE context?
25Which THREE factors influence the 'Path Selection' decision for traffic in a Unified SASE architecture?
26An engineer notices that some traffic is not being optimized by the Prisma SD-WAN fabric. Upon inspection, the traffic is bypassing the SD-WAN tunnels. What is the most likely cause?
27How are security logs from Prisma Access and Prisma SD-WAN correlated in a Unified SASE environment?
28Which component manages the configuration and policy definition for a fleet of Prisma SD-WAN ION devices?
29Which TWO of the following are required to successfully establish a Service Connection to Prisma Access?
30Which TWO functions are performed by the Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) within a Unified SASE environment?
31Which TWO types of traffic are typically steered to Prisma Access in a Unified SASE architecture?
32Which TWO benefits does an automated Service Connection provide over a manual tunnel configuration?
33Which TWO visibility tools help monitor the Unified SASE traffic flow?
34Which THREE components are involved in the process of applying a user-based policy in a Unified SASE architecture?
35Which THREE parameters are essential when troubleshooting a Service Connection tunnel status?
36Which THREE items must be configured to ensure that traffic is correctly routed through a Service Connection for security inspection?
37Which THREE factors must be considered when designing a high-availability (HA) Service Connection to Prisma Access?
38Which THREE items are required to successfully deploy a new branch ION device with zero-touch provisioning for a Unified SASE environment?
39An administrator needs to exclude specific traffic from being inspected by Prisma Access in a Unified SASE environment. Where is this defined?
40Which TWO actions can be performed by the SD-WAN controller to manage SASE security policy?
