Question 2 of 402

Which plane on a Palo Alto Networks Firewall provides configuration, logging, and reporting functions on a separate processor?

management

network processing

data

security processing

The management plane on a Palo Alto Networks Firewall is responsible for configuration, logging, and reporting functions, which it performs on a separate processor. This segmentation helps in optimizing performance and maintaining dedicated resources for management tasks, ensuring efficient and secure firewall operations.

Question 3 of 402

A security administrator has configured App-ID updates to be automatically downloaded and installed. The company is currently using an application identified by

App-ID as SuperApp_base.

On a content update notice, Palo Alto Networks is adding new app signatures labeled SuperApp_chat and SuperApp_download, which will be deployed in 30 days.

Based on the information, how is the SuperApp traffic affected after the 30 days have passed?

All traffic matching the SuperApp_chat, and SuperApp_download is denied because it no longer matches the SuperApp-base application

No impact because the apps were automatically downloaded and installed

No impact because the firewall automatically adds the rules to the App-ID interface

All traffic matching the SuperApp_base, SuperApp_chat, and SuperApp_download is denied until the security administrator approves the applications

Correct Answer: A

After the new app signatures are deployed, the traffic matching the SuperApp_chat and SuperApp_download will be denied because it will no longer match the SuperApp_base application. Security policies need to be explicitly defined to allow the new App-IDs. Without updates to these policies, the traffic corresponding to the new signatures will be blocked by default, as they are not covered under the existing rules that only recognize SuperApp_base.

In Palo Alto Networks firewalls, an interface can only be assigned to one zone. This means that although a zone can contain multiple interfaces, a single interface cannot belong to more than one zone.
