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
✓
Configure IPsec Crypto Profiles and Tunnel settings for the Remote Network connection.
Configuring Remote Networks requires defining the remote network location with public IP/bandwidth and creating IPsec tunnel parameters to establish the secure connection.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Upload customer SAML metadata files to the GlobalProtect Portal.
Why it's wrong here
Remote Networks use IPsec/BGP authentication, not SAML portal user logins.
- ✓
Configure IPsec Crypto Profiles and Tunnel settings for the Remote Network connection.
Why this is correct
IPsec crypto and tunnel settings define the cryptographic parameters used to secure the tunnel to Prisma Access.
- ✓
Configure the Remote Network general settings including region, bandwidth, and public IP address of the CPE device.
Why this is correct
Defining the remote network location, bandwidth allocation, and peer public IP is mandatory.
- ✗
Configure WMI probing credentials for Active Directory domain controllers.
Why it's wrong here
WMI probing is for User-ID mapping, not Remote Network provisioning.
- ✗
Install the GlobalProtect agent software on all CPE branch routers.
Why it's wrong here
GlobalProtect agent is for mobile users, not branch CPE routers.
Quick reference
VPN Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port | Encryption | Authentication | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IKEv2 / IPsec | UDP 500 / 4500 | AES-256 | Certificates / PSK | Site-to-site & remote access |
| SSL / TLS VPN | TCP 443 | TLS 1.3 | Certificates / MFA | Clientless remote access |
| L2TP / IPsec | UDP 1701 | AES (IPsec) | PSK / Certificates | Legacy remote access |
| WireGuard | UDP 51820 | ChaCha20 | Public keys | Modern high-performance VPN |
| PPTP | TCP 1723 | MPPE (weak) | MS-CHAPv2 | Legacy — avoid in production |
PPTP is considered insecure. IKEv2/IPsec and SSL VPN are the current recommended options.
