What the exam tests

What to know about Planning And Design

Planning And Design questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.

How the topic appears in realistic exam-style scenarios.

Which detail in the question changes the correct answer.

How to eliminate plausible but wrong options.

How to connect the question back to the wider exam objective.

Watch out for

Common Planning And Design exam traps

▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

A branch office uses both MPLS and Broadband. The design requires that business-critical traffic prefers MPLS, failing over to Broadband only if the MPLS path experiences packet loss exceeding 1%. Which metric should the PFR policy utilize?

Trap 1: Bandwidth Utilization

Bandwidth is for congestion, not loss-based failover.

Trap 2: Jitter

Jitter is a metric, but the requirement specifically mentions packet loss.

Trap 3: Round Trip Time (RTT)

RTT measures latency, not packet loss.

A
Bandwidth Utilization
Why wrong: Bandwidth is for congestion, not loss-based failover.
B
Packet Loss
This is the specific metric to trigger the failover based on the 1% threshold.
C
Jitter
Why wrong: Jitter is a metric, but the requirement specifically mentions packet loss.
D
Round Trip Time (RTT)
Why wrong: RTT measures latency, not packet loss.

A customer requires a granular segmentation strategy where HR, Engineering, and Guest traffic must remain isolated across the SD-WAN fabric. Which configuration construct provides this logical separation?

A network architect is designing a branch site deployment requiring sub-second failover. Which Prisma SD-WAN component must be configured to prioritize real-time traffic across multiple transport paths based on path quality metrics?

Which Prisma SD-WAN tool is used to monitor real-time health and performance of the SD-WAN fabric during the deployment phase?

What is the primary function of the CloudBlades platform in the Prisma SD-WAN architecture?

During pre-deployment planning for a high-security site, you must implement an identity-aware firewall policy. Where is this configuration mapped in the Prisma SD-WAN Controller?

You are designing a hub-and-spoke topology where spokes need to communicate directly under specific conditions. Which feature should be enabled to optimize latency and minimize load on the regional hub?

When designing a multi-tenant environment, how does the Prisma SD-WAN Controller ensure that management traffic is separated for each entity?

You are configuring a branch site with a dual-ISP setup. What is the correct order of operations for defining transport interfaces?

When integrating Prisma SD-WAN with a cloud-based security service provider (CSSP) via CloudBlades, which setting must be verified to ensure proper traffic redirection?

Which protocol is utilized for the auto-discovery of Prisma SD-WAN Gateways during site provisioning?

Which Prisma SD-WAN feature enables the automatic configuration of security parameters for a new gateway?

During the design of a large-scale data center migration, you need to extend Layer 2 domains across the SD-WAN fabric. Which mechanism supports this requirement?

You need to ensure that branch office voice traffic always has the lowest latency. Which QoS classification strategy is recommended?

A site deployment requires specific traffic to be exempted from the SD-WAN optimization process to ensure compatibility with a legacy application. Which policy should be updated?

A customer wants to deploy a Hub-and-Spoke model with redundant hubs. What must be configured to ensure seamless transition if the primary hub fails?

What is the purpose of the 'site-id' in the Prisma SD-WAN branch configuration?

You are designing an SD-WAN path for a high-bandwidth application that is sensitive to out-of-order packets. Which configuration setting minimizes packet reordering in a multi-path environment?

Which command or interface path is used to verify the status of the SD-WAN tunnel between two branch sites?

In the context of the SD-WAN Controller, what does the 'Template' object represent?
