The correct sequence to configure a new zone on a Palo Alto Networks firewall is: first, navigate to Network > Zones; second, click Add to create a new zone object; third, enter the zone name and select the zone type (e.g., Layer3); finally, click OK to save the configuration.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Navigate to Network > Zones, then click Add, then enter the zone name and select the zone type, then click OK.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because zones are defined under the Network tab, you must create a new zone object before configuring its properties, and you must click OK to save the configuration.
- ✗
Click Add, then navigate to Network > Zones, then enter the zone name and select the zone type, then click OK.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot click Add until you are in the Zones configuration window, which requires navigating there first.
- ✗
Navigate to Network > Zones, then enter the zone name and select the zone type, then click Add, then click OK.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the zone name and type can only be entered after clicking Add to create a new zone object; otherwise, there are no fields to fill in.
- ✗
Navigate to Network > Zones, then click Add, then click OK, then enter the zone name and select the zone type.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because clicking OK before entering the zone details would close the dialog without saving the necessary configuration.
