Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Traffic must be backhauled to the corporate data center via a Service Connection before reaching another branch.
Why it's wrong here
Prisma Access supports direct branch-to-branch traffic routing through cloud nodes without data center backhauling.
- ✓
Traffic between Remote Networks is dropped by default unless explicitly allowed by security policy and inter-branch routing is enabled.
Why this is correct
Inter-branch traffic requires explicit configuration in the Remote Networks settings and matching security policies to allow communication.
- ✗
Remote Networks cannot communicate with each other under any circumstance.
Why it's wrong here
Inter-branch communication is a fully supported feature in Prisma Access.
- ✗
Traffic is automatically bypassed and sent directly over public internet.
Why it's wrong here
Prisma Access handles remote network routing through its cloud backbone.
