Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Run the CLI command 'show user ip-user-mapping all' on the firewall to view current mappings.
Mappings can be verified on the firewall using CLI commands ('show user ip-user-mapping all' or 'show user group-mapping state') and the Operational Commands or User-ID agent status.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Check the BIOS boot sequence of the firewall management plane.
Why it's wrong here
BIOS boot sequence is irrelevant to User-ID mappings.
- ✗
Check the GlobalProtect client GUI for hardware warranty details.
Why it's wrong here
Warranty details have no relation to User-ID mappings.
- ✓
Run the CLI command 'show user ip-user-mapping all' on the firewall to view current mappings.
Why this is correct
The CLI command 'show user ip-user-mapping all' displays active IP-to-user mappings on the firewall.
- ✓
Check the User-ID agent status and connection state on the firewall under Device > User Identification.
Why this is correct
Checking User-ID agent status verifies connection health and mapping collection.
- ✗
Verify the physical fiber optic cable transceivers on HA2.
Why it's wrong here
HA2 transceivers sync HA states, not User-ID mappings.
