B. The detailed upgrade path from PAN-OS 10.1 to 11.0.x involves:
First, upgrading to the latest preferred maintenance release of the current PAN-OS version (10.1) to ensure that all the latest fixes and improvements are applied.
Next, upgrading to the base version of the next major release (PAN-OS 10.2.0), followed by upgrading to the latest preferred maintenance release of PAN-OS 10.2. This step ensures that the firewall is on a stable and supported version before proceeding to the next major release.
Finally, upgrading to the base version of PAN-OS 11.0 (11.0.0), followed by the desired PAN-OS 11.0.x version. This step completes the upgrade to the new major version, providing access to new features and improvements, such as TLSv1.3 support for management access.
This sequential upgrade path is designed to ensure a smooth transition between major versions, maintaining system stability and security.




Question # 2



A company wants to add threat prevention to the network without redesigning the network routing. What are two best practice deployment modes for the firewall? (Choose two.)
A. VirtualWire
B. Layer3
C. TAP
D. Layer2



A.
  VirtualWire


D.
  Layer2

Explanation:
A and D are the best practice deployment modes for the firewall if the company wants to add threat prevention to the network without redesigning the network routing. This is because these modes allow the firewall to act as a transparent device that does not affect the existing network topology or routing1.
A: VirtualWire mode allows the firewall to be inserted into any existing network segment without changing the IP addressing or routing of that segment2. The firewall inspects traffic between two interfaces that are configured as a pair, called a virtual wire. The firewall applies security policies to the traffic and forwards it to the same interface from which it was received2.
D: Layer 2 mode allows the firewall to act as a switch that forwards traffic based on MAC addresses3. The firewall inspects traffic between interfaces that are configured as Layer 2 interfaces and belong to the same VLAN. The firewall applies security policies to the traffic and forwards it to the appropriate interface based on the MAC address table3.




Question # 3



An engineer is reviewing the following high availability (HA) settings to understand a recent HAfailover event.

Which timer determines the frequency between packets sent to verify that the HA functionality on the other HA firewall is operational?
A. Monitor Fail Hold Up Time
B. Promotion Hold Time
C. Heartbeat Interval
D. Hello Interval



D.
  Hello Interval

The timer that determines the frequency between packets sent to verify that the HA functionality on the other HA firewall is operational is the Hello Interval. The Hello Interval is the interval in milliseconds between hello packets that are sent to check the HA status of the peer firewall. The default value for the Hello Interval is 8000 ms for all platforms, and the range is 8000-60000 ms. If the firewall does not receive a hello packet from its peer within the specified interval, it will declare the peer as failed and initiate a failover12.




Question # 4



An engineer configures a specific service route in an environment with multiple virtual systems instead of using the inherited global service route configuration. What type of service route can be used for this configuration?
A. IPv6 Source or Destination Address
B. Destination-Based Service Route
C. IPv4 Source Interface
D. Inherit Global Setting



C.
  IPv4 Source Interface





Question # 5



Which three statements accurately describe Decryption Mirror? (Choose three.)
A. Decryption Mirror requires a tap interface on the firewall
B. Use of Decryption Mirror might enable malicious users with administrative access to the firewall to harvest sensitive information that is submitted via an encrypted channel
C. Only management consent is required to use the Decryption Mirror feature.
D. Decryption, storage, inspection, and use of SSL traffic are regulated in certain countries.
E. You should consult with your corporate counsel before activating and using Decryption Mirror in a production environment.



B.
  Use of Decryption Mirror might enable malicious users with administrative access to the firewall to harvest sensitive information that is submitted via an encrypted channel


D.
  Decryption, storage, inspection, and use of SSL traffic are regulated in certain countries.


E.
  You should consult with your corporate counsel before activating and using Decryption Mirror in a production environment.

Explanation: Decryption Mirror is a feature that allows a Palo Alto Networks firewall to send a copy of decrypted traffic to an external security device or tool for further analysis. The potential risk associated with Decryption Mirror is that if the firewall administrator's credentials are compromised, a malicious user could potentially access sensitive decrypted information. Hence, it's advised to be cautious and ensure proper handling of this feature. Additionally, laws and regulations regarding the decryption, storage, inspection, and use of SSL/TLS encrypted traffic vary by country and industry. It is crucial to ensure compliance with relevant laws and best practices when using Decryption Mirror. This often requires consultation with corporate legal counsel to understand the implications and ensure that the use of such features does not violate privacy laws or regulatory requirements. The need for administrative consent and the legal implications of using Decryption Mirror features are outlined in Palo Alto Networks' "PAN-OS® Administrator’s Guide" and best practice documentation. It is not specifically required to have a tap interface to use Decryption Mirror, which eliminates option A. Option C is incorrect because it is not just management consent but legal compliance that needs to be considered.




Question # 6



During the implementation of SSL Forward Proxy decryption, an administrator imports the company's Enterprise Root CA and Intermediate CA certificates onto the firewall. The company's Root and Intermediate CA certificates are also distributed to trusted devices using Group Policy and GlobalProtect. Additional device certificates and/or Subordinate certificates requiring an Enterprise CA chain of trust are signed by the company's Intermediate CA. Which method should the administrator use when creating Forward Trust and Forward Untrust certificates on the firewall for use with decryption?
A. Generate a single subordinate CA certificate for both Forward Trust and Forward Untrust.
B. Generate a CA certificate for Forward Trust and a self-signed CA for Forward Untrust.
C. Generate a single self-signed CA certificate for Forward Trust and another for Forward Untrust
D. Generate two subordinate CA certificates, one for Forward Trust and one for Forward Untrust.



B.
  Generate a CA certificate for Forward Trust and a self-signed CA for Forward Untrust.





Question # 7



An administrator wants to add User-ID information for their Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server (MPS) users. Which option should the administrator use?
A. Terminal Server Agent for User Mapping
B. Windows-Based User-ID Agent
C. PAN-OS Integrated User-ID Agent
D. PAN-OS XML API



A.
  Terminal Server Agent for User Mapping

Explanation: If you have clients running multi-user systems in a Windows environment, such as Microsoft Terminal Server or Citrix Metaframe Presentation Server or XenApp, Configure the Palo Alto Networks Terminal Server (TS) Agent for User Mapping.




Question # 8



An administrator is receiving complaints about application performance degradation. After checking the ACC, the administrator observes that there is an excessive amount of VoIP traffic. Which three elements should the administrator configure to address this issue? (Choose three.)
A. An Application Override policy for the SIP traffic
B. QoS on the egress interface for the traffic flows
C. QoS on the ingress interface for the traffic flows
D. A QoS profile defining traffic classes
E. A QoS policy for each application ID



B.
  QoS on the egress interface for the traffic flows


D.
  A QoS profile defining traffic classes


E.
  A QoS policy for each application ID

Explanation: To address the issue of application performance degradation due to excessive VoIP traffic, the administrator should configure QoS on the egress interface for the traffic flows and a QoS profile defining traffic classes. QoS stands for Quality of Service, which is a feature that allows the firewall to manage bandwidth usage and prioritize traffic based on various criteria, such as application, user, service, etc. QoS can help improve the performance and quality of latency-sensitive applications, such as VoIP, by guaranteeing them sufficient bandwidth and priority over other traffic1.
To enable QoS on the firewall, the administrator needs to create a QoS profile and a QoS policy. A QoS profile defines the eight classes of service that traffic can receive, including priority, guaranteed bandwidth, maximum bandwidth, and weight. A QoS policy identifies the traffic that matches a specific class of service based on source and destination zones, addresses, users, applications, services, etc2. The administrator can also create a custom QoS profile or use the default one.
The administrator should apply QoS on the egress interface for the traffic flows, which is the interface where the traffic leaves the firewall. This is because QoS can only shape outbound traffic and not inbound traffic. The egress interface can be either internal or external, depending on the direction of the VoIP traffic. For example, if the VoIP traffic is from internal users to external servers, then the egress interface is the untrust interface facing the ISP. If the VoIP traffic is from external users to internal servers, then the egress interface is the trust interface facing the LAN3.
The administrator should assign a high priority and a sufficient guaranteed bandwidth to the VoIP traffic in the QoS profile. This will ensure that the VoIP packets are processed first by the firewall and are not dropped or delayed due to congestion. The administrator can also limit or block other applications that consume too much bandwidth or pose security risks in the same or different QoS classes4.
An Application Override policy for SIP traffic is not necessary to address this issue. An Application Override policy is used to change or customize the App-ID of certain traffic based on port and protocol criteria. This can be useful for optimizing performance or security for some applications that are difficult to identify or have non-standard behaviors. However, SIP is a predefined App-ID that identifies Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) traffic, which is commonly used for VoIP signaling. The firewall can recognize SIP traffic without an Application Override policy5.
QoS on the ingress interface for the traffic flows is not effective to address this issue. As mentioned earlier, QoS can only shape outbound traffic and not inbound traffic. Applying QoS on the ingress interface will not have any impact on how the firewall handles or prioritizes the incoming packets6.
A QoS policy for each application is not required to address this issue. A QoS policy can match multiple applications in a single rule by using application filters or application groups. This can simplify and consolidate the QoS policy configuration and management. The administrator does not need to create a separate QoS policy for each application unless there is a specific need to assign different classes of service or parameters to each application7.
