PCNSA Device Management and Services Practice Question
A company uses Panorama to manage multiple firewalls. The administrator wants changes made in Panorama to be automatically pushed to managed firewalls without manual intervention. Which setting should be enabled?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'Auto Commit on Panorama Push Settings' with 'Scheduled Config Update' or 'Schedule Commit', assuming any scheduling or automation feature will suffice, but only the specific Panorama push setting provides automatic propagation upon commit.
