When an in-band data port is set up to provide access to required services, what is required for an interface that is assigned to service routes?
When setting up an in-band data port to provide access to required services, the interface assigned to service routes must use a static IP address. This is essential because service routes typically rely on fixed IP assignments to ensure consistent and reliable connectivity, which cannot be guaranteed with dynamic IP addresses.
ref: https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/service-route-and-dhcp-interface/td-p/410874 "Only static ip addresses can be used for service routes." but B seems correct also since obviously the whole point of using that interface is that it has to be able to reach the service, do they mean traffic to the service and nothing else? I think the test writer needed another cup of coffee. I think C is the more clear-cut answer.
C is the most correct. https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000Clp3CAC
B is a correct statement but not a valid answer for this question as it asks about the requirement specifically.
yea the writer definitely needs a cup of coffee
Definitely C. Service Route won't even list an interface not statically assigned as an option (verified in a lab as DHCP, no option, added a static IP and the interface appeared)
C is correct. I tested when I configured a static IP on ethernet1/1, then go to service route and I can choose ethernet1/1. However, once I change ethernet1/1 to use DHCP, then go to service route again, and there is no option for me for ethernet1/1. So static IP must exist for service route.
B is correct the service must be accessible by that dataplane port.
But it still needs a static route. I think answer B is superfluous.
Answer is B
Service route needs static IP
Why not C ? Decide which port you want to use for access to external services and connect it to your switch or router port. The interface you use must have a static IP address. <=====
B cant be the right answer.. you can use the interface for data and mgmt. i'd say C
actually B is Correct. service routes are pointers so the interface Must be used for such use and other things
B is superfluous because the data plane is already used for traffic, using service routes just adds an additional traffic job for it. Answer C however is a requirement. The port will not function as a service route if its IP is via DHCP.
