Question 8 of 121

An organization has configured GlobalProtect in a hybrid authentication model using both certificate-based authentication for the pre-logon stage and SAML-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user logon.

How does the GlobalProtect agent process the authentication flow on Windows endpoints?

A.

The GlobalProtect agent uses the machine certificate to establish a pre-logon tunnel; upon user sign-in, it prompts for SAML-based MFA credentials, ensuring both device and user identities are validated before granting full access.

B.

The GlobalProtect agent uses the machine certificate during pre-logon for initial tunnel establishment, and then seamlessly reuses the same machine certificate for user-based authentication without requiring MFA.

C.

Once the machine certificate is validated at pre-logon, the Windows endpoint completes MFA on behalf of the user by passing existing Windows Credential Provider details to the GlobalProtect gateway without prompting the user.

D.

GlobalProtect requires the user to log in first for SAML-based MFA before establishing the pre-logon tunnel, rendering the pre-logon certificate authentication (CA) flow redundant.

An NGFW engineer is configuring multiple Panorama-managed firewalls to start sending all logs to Strata Logging Service. The Strata Logging Service instance has been provisioned, the required device certificates have been installed, and Panorama and the firewalls have been successfully onboarded to Strata Logging Service.

Which configuration task must be performed to start sending the logs to Strata Logging Service and continue forwarding them to the Panorama log collectors as well?

A.

Modify all active Log Forwarding profiles to select the “Cloud Logging” option in each profile match list in the appropriate device groups.

B.

Enable the “Panorama/Cloud Logging” option in the Logging and Reporting Settings section under Device --> Setup --> Management in the appropriate templates.

C.

Select the “Enable Duplicate Logging” option in the Cloud Logging section under Device --> Setup --> Management in the appropriate templates.

D.

Select the “Enable Cloud Logging” option in the Cloud Logging section under Device --> Setup --> Management in the appropriate templates.

Question 10 of 121

An NGFW engineer is configuring multiple Layer 2 interfaces on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, and all interfaces must be assigned to the same VLAN. During initial testing, it is reported that clients located behind the various interfaces cannot communicate with each other.

Which action taken by the engineer will resolve this issue?

A.

Configure each interface to belong to the same Layer 2 zone and enable IP routing between them.

B.

Assign each interface to the appropriate Layer 2 zone and configure a policy that allows traffic within the VLAN.

C.

Assign each interface to the appropriate Layer 2 zone and configure Security policies for interfaces not assigned to the same zone.

D.

Enable IP routing between the interfaces and configure a Security policy to allow traffic between interfaces within the VLAN.
