Question 168

A bootstrap USB flash drive has been prepared using a Linux workstation to load the initial configuration of a Palo Alto Networks firewall. The USB flash drive was formatted using file system ntfs and the initial configuration is stored in a file named init-cfg.txt.

The contents of init-cfg.txt in the USB flash drive are as follows:

The USB flash drive has been inserted in the firewalls' USB port, and the firewall has been powered on. Upon boot, the firewall fails to begin the bootstrapping process. The failure is caused because:

    Correct Answer: E

    In order to successfully bootstrap a Palo Alto Networks firewall, the file system used on the USB flash drive must be supported. The firewall supports FAT32 and ext3 file systems. Since the USB flash drive was formatted using the ntfs file system, which is unsupported, the firewall fails to initiate the bootstrapping process. Therefore, the correct answer is the USB drive being formatted with an unsupported file system.

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-0/pan-os-admin/firewall-administration/bootstrap-the-firewall/bootstrap-a-firewall-using-a-usb-flash-drive.html Wrong, ext4 is the only supported file system correct answer is C

Trung2735

"Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac operating systems are unable to read the bootstrap USB flash drive because the drive is formatted using an ext4 file system. You must install third-party software or use a Linux system to read the USB drive." This is them confusing people. It only state that Windows and Mac are unable to read the USB.
