NEW QUESTION # 13
What is a design consideration for a prospect who wants to deploy VM-Series firewalls in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment?
- A. Special AWS plugins are needed for load balancing.
- B. Only active-passive high availability (HA) is supported.
- C. Resources are shared within the cluster.
- D. High availability (HA) clusters are limited to fewer than 8 virtual appliances.
Answer: B
Explanation:
A design consideration for a prospect who wants to deploy VM-Series firewalls in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment is that only active-passive high availability (HA) is supported. High availability (HA) is a feature that provides redundancy and failover protection for firewalls in case of hardware or software failure. Active-passive HA is a mode of HA that consists of two firewalls in a pair, where one firewall is active and handles all traffic, while the other firewall is passive and acts as a backup. Active-passive HA is the only mode of HA that is supported for VM-Series firewalls in an AWS environment, due to the limitations of AWS networking and routing. Active-active HA, which is another mode of HA that consists of two firewalls in a pair that both handle traffic and synchronize sessions, is not supported for VM-Series firewalls in an AWS environment. A design consideration for a prospect who wants to deploy VM-Series firewalls in an AWS environment is not that special AWS plugins are needed for load balancing, resources are shared within the cluster, or high availability (HA) clusters are limited to fewer than 8 virtual appliances, as those are not valid or relevant factors for firewall deployment in an AWS environment.

NEW QUESTION # 14
Auto scaling templates for which type of firewall enable deployment of a single auto scaling group (ASG) of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to Amazon Web Services (AWS) application workloads?
- A. CN-Series
- B. IPA-Series
- C. VM-Series
- D. HA-Series
Answer: C
Explanation:
Auto scaling templates for VM-Series firewalls enable deployment of a single auto scaling group (ASG) of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to Amazon Web Services (AWS) application workloads. An ASG is a collection of EC2 instances that share similar characteristics and can be scaled up or down automatically based on demand or predefined conditions. Auto scaling templates for VM-Series firewalls are preconfigured templates that provide the necessary resources and configuration to deploy and manage VM-Series firewalls in an ASG on AWS. Auto scaling templates for VM-Series firewalls can be used to secure inbound traffic from the internet to AWS application workloads by placing the ASG of VM-Series firewalls behind an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) or a Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) that distributes the traffic across the firewalls. The firewalls can then inspect and enforce security policies on the inbound traffic before sending it to the application workloads. Auto scaling templates for HA-Series, CN-Series, and IPA-Series firewalls do not enable deployment of a single ASG of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to AWS application workloads, as those are different types of firewalls that have different deployment models and use cases.

NEW QUESTION # 15
How is traffic directed to a Palo Alto Networks firewall integrated with Cisco ACI?
- A. By using contracts between endpoint groups that send traffic to the firewall using a shared policy
- B. Through a virtual machine (VM) monitor domain
- C. Through a policy-based redirect
- D. By creating an access policy
Answer: C
Explanation:
Traffic is directed to a Palo Alto Networks firewall integrated with Cisco ACI through a policy-based redirect. Cisco ACI is a software-defined network (SDN) solution that provides network automation, orchestration, and visibility. A policy-based redirect is a mechanism that allows Cisco ACI to redirect traffic from one endpoint group (EPG) to another EPG through a service device, such as a Palo Alto Networks firewall. The firewall can then inspect and enforce security policies on the redirected traffic before sending it back to Cisco ACI. Traffic is not directed to a Palo Alto Networks firewall integrated with Cisco ACI by using contracts between endpoint groups that send traffic to the firewall using a shared policy, through a virtual machine (VM) monitor domain, or by creating an access policy, as those are not valid methods for traffic redirection in Cisco ACI. Reference: Palo Alto Networks Certified Software Firewall Engineer (PCSFE), [Deploy the VM-Series Firewall on Cisco ACI], [Cisco ACI Policy-Based Redirect]
NEW QUESTION # 16
Which protocol is used for communicating between VM-Series firewalls and a gateway load balancer in Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
- A. GRE
- B. VMLAN
- C. VRLAN
- D. Geneve
Answer: D
Explanation:
Geneve is the protocol used for communicating between VM-Series firewalls and a gateway load balancer in Amazon Web Services (AWS). A gateway load balancer is a type of network load balancer that distributes traffic across multiple virtual appliances, such as VM-Series firewalls, in AWS. Geneve is a tunneling protocol that encapsulates the original packet with an additional header that contains metadata about the source and destination endpoints, as well as other information. Geneve allows the gateway load balancer to preserve the original packet attributes and forward it to the appropriate VM-Series firewall for inspection and processing. VRLAN, GRE, and VMLAN are not protocols used for communicating between VM-Series firewalls and a gateway load balancer in AWS, but they are related concepts that can be used for other purposes. Reference: Palo Alto Networks Certified Software Firewall Engineer (PCSFE), [Deploy the VM-Series Firewall with AWS Gateway Load Balancer], [Geneve Protocol Specification]
NEW QUESTION # 17

- A. Dynamic Address Groups
- B. API Key
- C. Aperture orchestration engine
- D. Client-ID
Answer: B
Explanation:
To integrate a Palo Alto Networks VM-Series firewall with Azure Orchestration, you need an API Key. The API Key is used to authenticate and authorize requests from Azure Orchestration to the VM-Series firewall. The API Key is generated on the VM-Series firewall and copied to Azure Orchestration. Reference: [Azure Orchestration Integration with Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Firewalls]
NEW QUESTION # 18
A CN-Series firewall can secure traffic between which elements?
- A. Source applications
- B. IPods
- C. Host containers
- D. Containers
Answer: D
Explanation:
Containers are the elements that a CN-Series firewall can secure traffic between. Containers are isolated units of software that run on a shared operating system and have their own resources, dependencies, and configuration. A CN-Series firewall can inspect and enforce security policies on traffic between containers within a pod, across pods, or across namespaces in a Kubernetes cluster. Host containers, source applications, and IPods are not valid elements that a CN-Series firewall can secure traffic between. Reference: Palo Alto Networks Certified Software Firewall Engineer (PCSFE), [CN-Series Concepts], [What is a Container?]
NEW QUESTION # 19
How must a Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) be configured in order to secure traffic in a Cisco ACI environment?
- A. It must be deployed as a member of a device cluster
- B. It must use a Layer 3 underlay network
- C. It must be identified as a default gateway
- D. It must receive all forwarding lookups from the network controller
Answer: B
Explanation:
A Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) must be configured to use a Layer 3 underlay network in order to secure traffic in a Cisco ACI environment. A Layer 3 underlay network is a physical network that provides IP connectivity between devices, such as routers, switches, and firewalls. A Palo Alto Networks NGFW must use a Layer 3 underlay network to communicate with the Cisco ACI fabric and receive traffic redirection from the Cisco ACI policy-based redirect mechanism. A Palo Alto Networks NGFW does not need to be deployed as a member of a device cluster, receive all forwarding lookups from the network controller, or be identified as a default gateway in order to secure traffic in a Cisco ACI environment, as those are not valid requirements or options for firewall integration with Cisco ACI. Reference: Palo Alto Networks Certified Software Firewall Engineer (PCSFE), [Deploy the VM-Series Firewall on Cisco ACI], [Cisco ACI Underlay Network]

NEW QUESTION # 24
A customer in a VMware ESXi environment wants to add a VM-Series firewall and partition an existing group of virtual machines (VMs) in the same subnet into two groups. One group requires no additional security, but the second group requires substantially more security.
How can this partition be accomplished without editing the IP addresses or the default gateways of any of the guest VMs?
- A. Create a new virtual switch and use the VM-Series firewall to separate virtual switches using virtual wire mode. Then move the guests that require more security into the new virtual switch.
- B. Create a Layer 3 interface in the same subnet as the VMs and then configure proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).
- C. Send the VLAN out of the virtual environment into a hardware Palo Alto Networks firewall in Layer 3 mode. Use the same IP address as the old default gateway, then delete it.
- D. Edit the IP address of all of the affected VMs. www*
Answer: A
Explanation:
The partition can be accomplished without editing the IP addresses or the default gateways of any of the guest VMs by creating a new virtual switch and using the VM-Series firewall to separate virtual switches using virtual wire mode. Then move the guests that require more security into the new virtual switch. A virtual switch is a software-based switch that connects virtual machines (VMs) in a VMware ESXi environment. A virtual wire is a deployment mode of the VM-Series firewall that allows it to act as a bump in the wire between two network segments, without requiring an IP address or routing configuration. By creating a new virtual switch and using the VM-Series firewall to separate virtual switches using virtual wire mode, the customer can isolate the group of VMs that require more security from the rest of the network, and apply security policies to the traffic passing through the firewall. The partition cannot be accomplished without editing the IP addresses or the default gateways of any of the guest VMs by editing the IP address of all of the affected VMs, creating a Layer 3 interface in the same subnet as the VMs and then configuring proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), or sending the VLAN out of the virtual environment into a hardware Palo Alto Networks firewall in Layer 3 mode. Use the same IP address as the old default gateway, then delete it, as those methods would require changing the network configuration of the guest VMs or introducing additional complexity and latency.

NEW QUESTION # 25
What does the number of required flex credits for a VM-Series firewall depend on?
- A. Network interface allocation
- B. Memory allocation
- C. IP address allocation
- D. vCPU allocation
Answer: D
Explanation:
The number of required flex credits for a VM-Series firewall depends on vCPU allocation. Flex credits are a flexible licensing model that allows customers to purchase and consume software NGFWs as needed, without having to specify the platform or deployment model upfront. Customers can use flex credits to provision VM-Series firewalls on any supported cloud or virtualization platform. The number of required flex credits for a VM-Series firewall depends on vCPU allocation, which is the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the VM-Series firewall instance. The vCPU allocation determines the performance and capacity of the VM-Series firewall instance, such as throughput, sessions, policies, rules, and features. The number of required flex credits for a VM-Series firewall does not depend on IP address allocation, network interface allocation, or memory allocation, as those are not factors that affect the licensing cost or consumption of flex credits. Reference: Palo Alto Networks Certified Software Firewall Engineer (PCSFE), [Flex Credits Datasheet], [Flex Credits FAQ], [VM-Series System Requirements]

- B. Create a virtual data center (vDC) and a vApp that includes the VM-Series firewall.
- C. Register the VM-Series firewall as a service.
- D. Enable communication between Panorama and the NSX Manager.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
To deploy a VM-Series firewall on NSX, you need to enable communication between Panorama and the NSX Manager. This allows Panorama to receive information about the virtual machines and services in the NSX environment. You also need to register the VM-Series firewall as a service on the NSX Manager. This allows NSX to redirect traffic to the VM-Series firewall for inspection3. Reference: VM-Series Deployment Guide for VMware NSX
NEW QUESTION # 28
What helps avoid split brain in active-passive high availability (HA) pair deployment?
- A. Enabling preemption on both firewalls in the HA pair
- B. Using a standard traffic interface as the HA2 backup
- C. Using a standard traffic interface as the HA3 link
- D. Using the management interface as the HA1 backup link
Answer: D
Explanation:
Using the management interface as the HA1 backup link helps avoid split brain in active-passive high availability (HA) pair deployment. High availability (HA) is a feature that provides redundancy and failover protection for firewalls in case of hardware or software failure. Active-passive HA is a mode of HA that consists of two firewalls in a pair, where one firewall is active and handles all traffic, while the other firewall is passive and acts as a backup. Split brain is a condition that occurs when both firewalls in an HA pair assume the active role and start processing traffic independently, resulting in traffic duplication, policy inconsistency, or session disruption. Split brain can be caused by network failures, device failures, or configuration errors that prevent the firewalls from communicating their HA status and synchronizing their configurations and sessions. Using the management interface as the HA1 backup link helps avoid split brain in active-passive HA pair deployment. The HA1 interface is used for exchanging HA state information and configuration synchronization between the firewalls. Using the management interface as the HA1 backup link provides redundancy and failover protection for the HA1 interface, ensuring that the firewalls can maintain their HA communication and avoid split brain. Using a standard traffic interface as the HA2 backup, enabling preemption on both firewalls in the HA pair, or using a standard traffic interface as the HA3 link do not help avoid split brain in active-passive HA pair deployment, but they are related features that can enhance performance and reliability. Reference: Palo Alto Networks Certified Software Firewall Engineer (PCSFE), [High Availability Overview], [Configure HA Backup Links], [Configure Heartbeat Backup]
NEW QUESTION # 29
Which two criteria are required to deploy VM-Series firewalls in high availability (HA)? (Choose two.)
- A. Deployment on same type of hypervisor
- B. Configuration of asymmetric routing
- C. Assignment of identical licenses and subscriptions
- D. Deployment on a different host
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
To deploy VM-Series firewalls in high availability (HA), you need to assign identical licenses and subscriptions, and deploy them on a different host. Assigning identical licenses and subscriptions ensures that both firewalls have the same features and capabilities. Deploying them on a different host ensures that they are not affected by the same host failure. Reference: [VM-Series High Availability]
NEW QUESTION # 30
Which component can provide application-based segmentation and prevent lateral threat movement?
- A. NAT
- B. App-ID
- C. URL Filtering
- D. DNS Security
Answer: B
Explanation:
App-ID is the component that can provide application-based segmentation and prevent lateral threat movement. Application-based segmentation is a method of dividing the network into smaller segments or zones based on application or workload characteristics, such as function, dependency, owner, or security posture. Lateral threat movement is a technique used by attackers to move across the network from one compromised host to another, looking for sensitive data or assets. App-ID is a feature that identifies and classifies applications and protocols based on their content and characteristics, regardless of port, encryption, or evasion techniques. App-ID can provide application-based segmentation and prevent lateral threat movement by applying granular security policies based on application information to each segment or connection, blocking unauthorized access or data exfiltration. DNS Security, NAT, and URL Filtering are not components that can provide application-based segmentation and prevent lateral threat movement, but they are related features that can enhance security and visibility.

NEW QUESTION # 31
Which Palo Alto Networks firewall provides network security when deploying a microservices-based application?
- A. ICN-Series
- B. VM-Series
- C. HA-Series
- D. PA-Series
Answer: A
Explanation:
CN-Series firewall is the Palo Alto Networks firewall that provides network security when deploying a microservices-based application. A microservices-based application is an application that consists of multiple independent and loosely coupled services that communicate with each other through APIs. A microservices-based application requires network security that can protect the inter-service communication from cyberattacks and enforce granular security policies based on application or workload characteristics. CN-Series firewall is a containerized firewall that integrates with Kubernetes and provides visibility and control over container traffic. CN-Series firewall can provide network security when deploying a microservices-based application by inspecting and enforcing security policies on traffic between containers within a pod, across pods, or across namespaces in a Kubernetes cluster. PA-Series, VM-Series, and HA-Series are not Palo Alto Networks firewalls that provide network security when deploying a microservices-based application, but they are related solutions that can be deployed on different platforms or environments.

What must be enabled when using Terraform templates with a Cloud next-generation firewall (NGFW) for Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
- A. AWS CloudWatch logging
- B. Access to the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support Portal
- C. Access to the Cloud NGFW for AWS console
- D. AWS Firewall Manager console access
Answer: C
Explanation:
Access to the Cloud NGFW for AWS console must be enabled when using Terraform templates with a Cloud next-generation firewall (NGFW) for Amazon Web Services (AWS). Terraform is an open-source tool that allows users to define and provision infrastructure as code using declarative configuration files. Terraform templates are files that specify the resources and configuration for deploying and managing infrastructure components, such as firewalls, load balancers, networks, or servers. Cloud NGFW for AWS is a cloud-native solution that provides comprehensive security and visibility across AWS environments, including VPCs, regions, accounts, and workloads. Cloud NGFW for AWS is deployed and managed by Palo Alto Networks as a service, eliminating the need for customers to provision, configure, or maintain any infrastructure or software. Access to the Cloud NGFW for AWS console must be enabled when using Terraform templates with a Cloud NGFW for AWS, as the console is the web-based interface that allows customers to view and manage their Cloud NGFW for AWS instances, policies, logs, alerts, and reports. The console also provides the necessary information and credentials for integrating with Terraform, such as the API endpoint, access key ID, secret access key, and customer ID. AWS CloudWatch logging, access to the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support Portal, and AWS Firewall Manager console access do not need to be enabled when using Terraform templates with a Cloud NGFW for AWS, as those are not required or relevant components for Terraform integration.

NEW QUESTION # 35
Which element protects and hides an internal network in an outbound flow?
- A. NAT
- B. App-ID
- C. DNS sinkholing
- D. User-ID
Answer: A
Explanation:
NAT is the element that protects and hides an internal network in an outbound flow. NAT is a feature that translates the source or destination IP address or port of a packet as it passes through the firewall. NAT can protect and hide an internal network in an outbound flow by replacing the private IP addresses of the internal hosts with a public IP address of the firewall or another device, making them appear as a single entity to the external network. This prevents external hosts from directly accessing or identifying the internal hosts, and also conserves the public IP address space. DNS sinkholing, User-ID, and App-ID are not elements that protect and hide an internal network in an outbound flow, but they are related features that can enhance security and visibility.
