NEW QUESTION # 120
Which method will dynamically register tags on the Palo Alto Networks NGFW?
- A. Restful API or the VMWare API on the firewall or on the User-ID agent or the read-only domain controller (RODC)
- B. Restful API or the VMware API on the firewall or on the User-ID agent
- C. XML API or the VM Monitoring agent on the NGFW or on the User-ID agent
- D. XML-API or the VMware API on the firewall or on the User-ID agent or the CLI
Answer: C
Explanation:
To mitigate the challenges of scale, lack of flexibility, and performance, network architectures today allow for virtual machines (VMs) and applications to be provisioned, changed, and deleted on demand. This agility, though, poses a challenge for security administrators because they have limited visibility into the IP addresses of the dynamically provisioned VMs and the plethora of applications that can be enabled on these virtual resources. Firewalls (hardware-based and VM- Series models) support the ability to register IP addresses, IP sets (IP ranges and subnets), and tags dynamically. The IP addresses and tags can be registered on the firewall directly or from Panorama. You can also automatically remove tags on the source and destination IP addresses included in a firewall log.

NEW QUESTION # 121
For which two reasons would a firewall discard a packet as part of the packet flow sequence?
(Choose two.)
- A. rule match with action "deny"
- B. ingress processing errors
- C. rule match with action "allow"
- D. equal-cost multipath
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Denying traffic will discard the packet. Packets can also be discarded due to malformed or incorrect frames, datagrams or packets.
C and D are irrelevant as packets would never be discarded if allowed and ECMP simply allows the use of multiple routes or paths to a destination.
Read up on "Packer Flow Sequence", it details where exactly it will discard packets (layer 2, layer
3 and on)

Which three authentication types can be used to authenticate users? (Choose three.)
- A. Local database authentication
- B. PingID
- C. Cloud authentication service
- D. Kerberos single sign-on
- E. GlobalProtect client
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
The three authentication types that can be used to authenticate users are:
* A: Local database authentication. This is the authentication type that uses the local user database on the firewall or Panorama to store and verify user credentials1.
* C: Cloud authentication service. This is the authentication type that uses a cloud-based identity provider, such as Okta, PingOne, or PingFederate, to authenticate users and provide SAML assertions to the firewall or Panorama2.
* E: Kerberos single sign-on. This is the authentication type that uses the Kerberos protocol to authenticate users who are logged in to a Windows domain and provide them with seamless access to resources on the firewall or Panorama3.

NEW QUESTION # 131
A network security engineer must implement Quality of Service policies to ensure specific levels of delivery guarantees for various applications in the environment They want to ensure that they know as much as they can about QoS before deploying.
Which statement about the QoS feature is correct?
- A. QoS is only supported on firewalls that have a single virtual system configured
- B. QoS can be used on firewalls with multiple virtual systems configured

NEW QUESTION # 132
Which User-ID mapping method should be used in a high-security environment where all IP address-to-user mappings should always be explicitly known?
- A. Windows-based User-ID agent
- B. PAN-OS integrated User-ID agent
- C. GlobalProtect
- D. LDAP Server Profile configuration
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Because GlobalProtect users must authenticate to gain access to the network, the IP address-to-username mapping is explicitly known. This is the best solution in sensitive environments where you must be certain of who a user is in order to allow access to an application or service.

NEW QUESTION # 133
You are auditing the work of a co-worker and need to verify that they have matched the Palo Alto Networks Best Practices for Anti-Spyware Profiles.
For which three severity levels should single-packet captures be enabled to meet the Best Practice standard?
(Choose three.)
- A. Low
- B. Informational
- C. High
- D. Critical
- E. Medium
Answer: C,D,E
Explanation:
Explanation
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices/10-2/data-center-best-practices/data-center-best-practice-securi The Palo Alto Networks Best Practices for Anti-Spyware Profiles recommend enabling single-packet captures (PCAP) for medium, high, and critical severity threats. This allows for capturing the first packet of the malicious traffic for further analysis and investigation. PCAP should not be enabled for low and informational severity threats, as they generate a relatively high volume of traffic and are not particularly useful compared to potential threats2.

- B. Public-facing servers
- C. Financial, health, and government traffic categories
- D. Known malicious IP space
