SSE-Engineer Prisma Access Troubleshooting Practice Question
An administrator needs to verify whether a Prisma Access Remote Network is successfully exchanging routes with the customer CPE router over BGP. Where can the real-time BGP peer state be checked?
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 operational CLI commands such as 'show routing protocol bgp peer' or check the routing status in the Prisma Access monitoring dashboard.
BGP peer state and routing tables can be checked via operational CLI commands on Prisma Access nodes or monitoring dashboards.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Review the System log for BGP daemon errors.
Why it's wrong here
While system logs show daemon crashes, active peer state and prefix counts require routing operational commands.
- ✗
Examine the Traffic log for BGP port 179 sessions.
Why it's wrong here
Traffic logs confirm session establishment, but do not show BGP adjacency states or route exchange metrics.
- ✗
Check the GlobalProtect gateway log.
Why it's wrong here
GlobalProtect logs track client connections, not BGP routing states.
- ✓
Run operational CLI commands such as 'show routing protocol bgp peer' or check the routing status in the Prisma Access monitoring dashboard.
Why this is correct
BGP operational commands show whether the peer state is Established, Active, or Idle, along with received and advertised routes.
