What to know about Prisma Access Planning And Deployment
Be able to plan remote networks, service connections, and compute locations, and validate them in Prisma Access Insights. The most important thing: match bandwidth, BGP routing, and compute placement to actual traffic and topology requirements, not assumptions.
Reading Prisma Access Insights for health, bandwidth, and connectivity metrics
Configuring Service Connections with BGP, private AS, and route advertisement
Sizing remote network bandwidth licenses for traffic such as video streaming
Selecting compute locations using latency, capacity, and data residency factors
Watch out for
Common Prisma Access Planning And Deployment exam traps
- ▸Assuming Insights shows only tunnel status; it also reports bandwidth, health, and connectivity insights across locations.
- ▸Forgetting that Service Connection BGP requires matching AS, route filters, and advertised on-premises prefixes to route traffic correctly.
- ▸Sizing bandwidth from user count alone while ignoring traffic type, concurrency, and throughput per application like video.
