NEW QUESTION # 23
A firewall is configured with SSL Forward Proxy decryption and has the following four enterprise certificate authorities (Cas) i. Enterprise-Trusted-CA; which is verified as Forward Trust Certificate (The CA is also installed in the trusted store of the end-user browser and system ) ii. Enterprise-Untrusted-CA, which is verified as Forward Untrust Certificate iii. Enterprise-lntermediate-CA iv. Enterprise-Root-CA which is verified only as Trusted Root CA An end-user visits https //www example-website com/ with a server certificate Common Name (CN) www example-website com The firewall does the SSL Forward Proxy decryption for the website and the server certificate is not trusted by the firewall The end-user's browser will show that the certificate for www.example-website.com was issued by which of the following?
- A. Enterprise-Root-CA which is a self-signed CA
- B. Enterprise-Untrusted-CA which is a self-signed CA
- C. Enterprise-Trusted-CA which is a self-signed CA
- D. Enterprise-intermediate-CA which was. in turn, issued by Enterprise-Root-CA
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/decryption/configure-ssl-forward-proxy Enterprise-Trusted-CA is installed in the trusted store of the end-user browser and system. So it should not lead to any certificate issue. The most possible that www.example-website.com is signed by not trusted certificate authority which leads to use Enterprise-Untrusted-CA, which is not trusted as well
NEW QUESTION # 24
Which three file types can be forwarded to WildFire for analysis as a part of the basic WildFire service? (Choose three.)
- A. .apk
- B. .jar
- C. .pdf
- D. .dll
- E. .src
- F. .exe
Answer: D,E,F
Explanation:
The question is asking for the free basic Wildfire Service which only allows for PE (Portable executables) files.
pe
Portable Executable (PE) files. PEs include executable files, object code, DLLs, FON (fonts), and LNK files. A subscription is not required to forward PE files for WildFire analysis, but is required for all other supported file types.
"With the basic WildFire service, the firewall can forward portable executable (PE) files for WildFire analysis", look online for PE files and you will get:

NEW QUESTION # 25
Which type of zone will allow different virtual systems to communicate with each other?
- A. Virtual Wire
- B. Tunnel
- C. External
- D. Tap
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
An external zone is a type of zone that will allow different virtual systems to communicate with each other. An external zone is a special zone that is shared by all virtual systems on the firewall and can be used to route traffic between virtual systems without leaving the firewall. The external zone can also be used to route traffic to other zones within the same virtual system1. The other options are not correct. A tap zone is a type of zone that is used to passively monitor traffic without affecting the flow of packets2. A virtual wire zone is a type of zone that is used to create a transparent bridge between two network segments without changing the original IP addressing or routing3. A tunnel zone is a type of zone that is used to terminate VPN tunnels or other types of encapsulated traffic4. References: 1:

NEW QUESTION # 33
An engineer must configure the Decryption Broker feature. To which router must the engineer assign the decryption forwarding interfaces that are used in Decryption Broker security chain?
- A. The default virtual router. If there is no default virtual router , the engineer must create one during setup.
- B. A virtual router that is configured with at least one dynamic routing protocol and has at least one entry in the RIB
- C. A virtual router that has no additional interfaces for passing data-type traffic and no other configured routes than those used for the security chain.
- D. The virtual router that routes the traffic that the Decryption Broker security chain inspects.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Decryption Broker is a feature that allows you to use a Palo Alto Networks firewall as a decryption broker for other security devices in your network . It works by decrypting traffic on one interface and forwarding it to another interface where it can be inspected by other devices before being re-encrypted and sent to its destination2. The firewall acts as a transparent bridge between the two interfaces and does not change the source or destination IP addresses of the traffic To configure Decryption Broker, you need to assign decryption forwarding interfaces (DFIs) to the virtual router that routes the traffic that you want to inspect. The DFIs are used to forward decrypted traffic from one interface to another in a security chain3. A security chain is a set of devices that perform different security functions on the same traffic flow3. You can have multiple security chains for different types of traffic or different segments of your network3.
The reason why you need to assign DFIs to the virtual router that routes the traffic is because Decryption Broker uses routing tables to determine which DFI belongs to which security chain and how to forward traffic between them2. If you assign DFIs to a different virtual router than the one that routes the traffic, Decryption Broker will not be able to find them or forward traffic correctly2.
NEW QUESTION # 34
Which three authentication services can administrator use to authenticate admins into the Palo Alto Networks NGFW without defining a corresponding admin account on the local firewall? (Choose three.)
- A. RADIUS
- B. SAML
- C. Kerberos
- D. PAP
- E. LDAP
- F. TACACS+
Answer: B,C,E
Explanation:
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/8-0/pan-os-admin/firewall-administration/manage-firewall-administrators/administrative-authentication The administrative accounts are defined on an external SAML, TACACS+, or RADIUS server. The server performs both authentication and authorization. For authorization, you define Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSAs) on the TACACS+ or RADIUS server, or SAML attributes on the SAML server. PAN-OS maps the attributes to administrator roles, access domains, user groups, and virtual systems that you define on the firewall. For details, see:

NEW QUESTION # 42
An administrator analyzes the following portion of a VPN system log and notices the following issue
"Received local id 10 10 1 4/24 type IPv4 address protocol 0 port 0, received remote id 10.1.10.4/24 type IPv4 address protocol 0 port 0." What is the cause of the issue?
- A. mismatched Proxy-IDs
- B. IPSec crypto profile mismatch
- C. IPSec protocol mismatch
- D. bad local and peer identification IP addresses in the IKE gateway
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the Palo Alto Networks documentation, "A successful phase 2 negotiation requires not only that the security proposals match, but also the proxy-ids on either peer, be a mirror image of each other. So it is mandatory to configure the proxy-IDs whenever you establish a tunnel between the Palo Alto Network firewall and the firewalls configured for policy-based VPNs." The log message indicates that the local and remote IDs are identical, which means they are not mirrored.
