Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Push the configuration to the new device using the existing Device Group.
Why this is correct
Once the serial number is updated, the existing config is pushed to the new device.
- ✗
Re-license every feature manually.
Why it's wrong here
Licenses are tied to the serial number and activated via the support portal.
- ✗
Create a new Device Group for the replacement.
Why it's wrong here
The existing device group should be reused.
- ✓
Remove the old serial number from Panorama and add the new one.
Why this is correct
Updating the serial number is required to link the replacement hardware.
- ✗
Reset the firewall to factory defaults.
Why it's wrong here
This is assumed as part of the hardware replacement but is not a Panorama management step.
