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
✓
Configure split tunneling to route non-corporate or high-bandwidth web traffic (e.g., video streaming) directly to the internet.
Traffic optimization for mobile users involves split tunneling, optimal gateway selection, and QoS.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure split tunneling to route non-corporate or high-bandwidth web traffic (e.g., video streaming) directly to the internet.
Why this is correct
Split tunneling prevents unnecessary backhauling of non-corporate traffic through Prisma Access nodes.
- ✗
Disable all threat inspection profiles for mobile users to bypass security processing.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling security inspection violates corporate security standards and is not a recommended optimization practice.
- ✓
Enable 'Closest Gateway' selection so users automatically connect to the nearest Prisma Access location.
Why this is correct
Closest gateway routing minimizes latency by connecting users to the geographically nearest cloud location.
- ✓
Implement Quality of Service (QoS) policies to prioritize business-critical applications.
Why this is correct
QoS ensures that critical traffic receives preferred bandwidth treatment across the cloud path.
- ✗
Route all mobile user traffic through a single centralized headquarters datacenter firewall.
Why it's wrong here
Backhauling all mobile traffic to a single datacenter increases latency and defeats the purpose of a distributed SSE architecture.
