SSE-Engineer Exam Dumps - Paloalto Networks Network Security Administrator Questions and Answers

To enable App Acceleration for SaaS applications in Prisma Access, the following configurations must be enabled:

Trusted Root CA for the CA certificate ensures that Prisma Access can validate and trust the SaaS application's certificates, allowing seamless inspection and acceleration of traffic without security warnings.

Forward Trust Certificate for the CA certificate enables SSL decryption for SaaS applications, allowing Prisma Access to optimize traffic and apply acceleration techniques while maintaining security policies.

In Prisma Access's default routing mode, the service connections establish BGP sessions with the customer premises equipment (CPE) in the data centers. To ensure traffic destined for mobile users in a specific region (e.g., North America) traverses the service connection in that same region, you need to control the route advertisements.

Filtering out the mobile user pool prefixes from the other region on each service connection achieves this by:

Preventing the data center in one region from learning the specific mobile user prefixes of the other region.For example, the North American service connection would filter out the mobile user pool prefixes allocated to European users.

Ensuring that when a data center needs to send traffic to a mobile user, it will only see and use the route advertised by the service connection in the appropriate geographical region.This forces the traffic to enter the Prisma Access infrastructure through the intended regional service connection.

Let's analyze why the other options are incorrect based on official documentation regarding default routing mode:

A. Configure BGP on the customer premises equipment (CPE) to prefer the assigned community string attribute on the mobile user prefixes in its respective Prisma Access region.While BGP communities can be used for influencing routing decisions, in the context ofdefault routing modeand ensuring regional traffic flow, relying solely on the CPE to prefer community strings might not be the most robust or direct method to guarantee traffic traverses the correct regional service connection. The service connection itself needs to control the advertisement of prefixes.

C. Configure BGP on the customer premises equipment (CPE) to prefer the MED attribute on the mobile user prefixes in its respective Prisma Access region.The BGP MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) attribute is primarily used to influence the path selectionbetweenautonomous systems (AS) or within the same AS at different entry points. In this scenario, where serviceconnections are advertising prefixes, filtering at the source (service connection) is a more direct and reliable way to ensure regional traffic flow than relying on the MED attribute on the CPE.

D. Configure each service connection to prepend the BGP ASN five times for mobile user pool prefixes originating from the other region.BGP AS path prepending is a mechanism to make a path less desirable. While this could influence routing, it doesn't guarantee that traffic will always take the intended regional path. Filtering provides a more definitive control over which routes are advertised and learned.

Therefore, configuring each service connection to filter out the mobile user pool prefixes from the other region in the advertisements to the data center is the verified method to ensure traffic destined for mobile users traverses the service connection in the appropriate region when using Prisma Access in default routing mode.

When terminating aPartner Interconnect-based Colo-ConnectinPrisma Access, theCustomer Premises Equipment (CPE)must supportIPSecas the overlay protocol. Prisma Access establishes secureIPSec tunnelsbetween theColo-Connect infrastructure and the CPE, ensuringencrypted communicationand reliable connectivity.IPSecprovidessecure site-to-cloud integration, enabling customers to extend their private network securely over the Prisma Access infrastructure.

Palo Alto Networks documentation explicitly states that the"Preview Changes"functionality within the Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) push dialogue allows engineers to review a detailed summary of all modifications that will be applied to the Prisma Access configuration before committing the changes. This is the primary and most reliable method to ensure only the intended changes are deployed.

Let's analyze why the other options are incorrect based on official documentation:

A. Review the SCM portal for blue circular indicators next to each configuration menu item and ensure only the intended areas of configuration have this indicator.While blue circular indicators might signify unsaved changes within a specific configuration section, they do not provide a comprehensive, consolidated view ofallpending changes across different policy areas. This method is insufficient for verifying the entirety of the intended modifications.

B. Compare the candidate configuration and the most recent version under "Config Version Snapshots".While comparing configuration snapshots is a valuable method for understanding historical changes and potentially identifying unintended deviationsaftera push, it does not provide a real-time preview of thependingchanges before they are applied during the current modification session

C. Select the most recent job under Operations > Push Status to view the pending changes that would apply to Prisma Access.The "Push Status" section primarily displays the status anddetails ofcompletedorin-progresspush operations. It does not offer a preview of the changesbeforea push is initiated.

Therefore, the "Preview Changes" feature within the push dialogue is the documented and recommended method for an engineer to verify that only the intended changes will be applied when modifying Prisma Access policy configuration in Strata Cloud Manager (SCM).

To meet the customer’s requirements,GlobalProtect and Remote Networksshould be used as follows:

GlobalProtect: This enables secure access for mobile users, ensuring internet filtering, data center connectivity, and access to branch locations.

Remote Networks: This is used to provide security and connectivity for branch locations, ensuring internet filtering and data center access.

Service Connections: These allow both mobile users and branch locations to securely connect to the data center for internal resources.

This configuration ensures that mobile users and branch locations can securely access the internet while maintaining asegregated and secureconnection to internal resources. It also aligns with Prisma Access's best practices forsecurity enforcement, traffic filtering, and centralized management.
