PSE-SWFW-Pro-24 Leak Questions

Cloud NGFW for Azure and AWS can be deployed using various methods.

Why A, B, and E are correct:

A. Azure CLI or Azure Terraform Provider:Cloud NGFW for Azure can be deployed and managed using Azure's command-line interface (CLI) or through Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform. Cloud NGFW for AWS can be deployed and managed using AWS CloudFormation or Terraform.

B. Azure Portal:Cloud NGFW for Azure can be deployed directly through the Azure portal's graphical interface.

E. Palo Alto Networks Ansible playbooks:Palo Alto Networks provides Ansible playbooks for automating the deployment and configuration of Cloud NGFW in both Azure and AWS.

Why C and D are incorrect:

C. AWS Firewall Manager:AWS Firewall Manager is an AWS service for managing AWS WAF, AWS Shield, and VPC security groups. It is not used to deploy Cloud NGFW.

D. Panorama AWS and Azure plugins:While Panorama is used tomanageCloud NGFW, thedeploymentitself is handled through native cloud tools (Azure portal, CLI, Terraform) or Ansible.

Palo Alto Networks References:

Cloud NGFW for Azure and AWS Documentation:This documentation provides deployment instructions using various methods, including the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Terraform, and Ansible.

Palo Alto Networks GitHub Repositories:Palo Alto Networks provides Ansible playbooks and Terraform modules for Cloud NGFW deployments.

Automation tools enhance management efficiency and consistency.

Why D is correct:Automation tools like Ansible, Terraform, and pan-os-python allow for consistent configuration deployment and management across multiple devices, reducing manual errors and ensuring adherence to standards.  

Why A, B, and C are incorrect:

A:While automation can improve performance through optimized configurations, it doesn't automatically optimize device performance without administrator input.

B:The PAN-OS web interface remains a valid management option. Automationcomplements it, not replaces it entirely.

C:Understanding PAN-OS configuration concepts is crucial for effective use of automation tools. These tools automate tasks, but they require proper configuration and scripting.

Palo Alto Networks References:Palo Alto Networks documentation on automation and APIs (including the pan-os-python SDK) highlights the benefits of consistency and reduced human error.

Azure vWAN (Virtual WAN) is a networking service that connects on-premises locations, branches, and Azure virtual networks. Protecting egress traffic from workloads attached to a vWAN hub requires a solution that can integrate with the vWAN architecture.

A. Cloud NGFW:Cloud NGFW is designed for cloud environments and integrates directly with Azure networking services, including vWAN. It can be deployed as a secured virtual hub or as a spoke VNet insertion to protect egress traffic.

B. PA-Series:PA-Series are hardware appliances and are not directly deployable within Azure vWAN. They would require complex configurations involving on-premises connectivity and backhauling traffic, which is not a typical or recommended vWAN design.

C. CN-Series:CN-Series is designed for containerized environments and is not suitable for protecting general egress traffic from workloads connected to a vWAN hub.

D. VM-Series:VM-Series firewalls can be deployed in Azure virtual networks that are connected to the vWAN hub. They can then be configured to inspect and control egress traffic. This is a common deployment model for VM-Series in Azure.

The init-cfg.txt file configures the management interface during bootstrapping.

Why B is correct:The init-cfg.txt file is the primary configuration file used during the bootstrap process. It contains settings for the management interface (IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS), as well as other initial configurations.

Why A, C, and D are incorrect:

A. init-mgmt-cfg.txt:This file does not exist in the standard bootstrap process.

C. init-cfg.bat:This is a batch file, not a configuration file. Batch files are sometimes used to automate the deployment process, but the actual configuration is in init-cfg.txt.

D. bootstrap.bat:Similar to C, this is a batch file, not the configuration file itself.

Palo Alto Networks References:VM-Series deployment guides provide detailed instructions on the bootstrapping process and the contents of the init-cfg.txt file.
