Question 12

How does an administrator schedule an Applications and Threats dynamic update while delaying installation of the update for a certain amount of time?

    Correct Answer: C

    To schedule an Applications and Threats dynamic update while delaying installation, configure the system to automatically 'download only' and then install the updates later after the administrator approves them. This allows the download to take place immediately, but the actual installation is delayed until the administrator decides it is safe to proceed.

A is the right answer. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-1/pan-os-admin/software-and-content-updates/install-content-and-software-updates

confusionOption: A

A, as the question asks for delaying the whole update: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-0/pan-os-admin/software-and-content-updates/best-practices-for-app-and-threat-content-updates/best-practices-mission-critical.html B is not relevant as it would disable the automatic updates. C involves manual/admin action to install the update which is not "certain amount of time". D would not delay the install of the content update, but disable the new Apps from it.

lgkhanOption: A

A is correct.

MarshpillowzOption: A

Correct answer is A. Enter how long after a release to wait before performing a content update in the Threshold (Hours) field. In rare instances, errors in content updates may be found. For this reason, you may want to delay installing new updates until they have been released for a certain number of hours.

None of the options are perfect in my opinion. There are two thresholds that can be set in a schedule - Threshold (hours) which is the time to wait when a new app and threat update is available before taking the action (download only or download and install) or New App-ID Threshold (hours) which delays the installation.

rischaOption: C

Ans:C this for delayed installation for certain time. Ans: A is for the mission critical application availability 100% we can configure the threshold.

Nope, A is correct and not related for mission critical only: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-0/pan-os-admin/software-and-content-updates/best-practices-for-app-and-threat-content-updates/best-practices-mission-critical.html

Correct Answer: A

bluejlOption: C

C. Threshold is to delay the Action, what if Action is "download-only"? which does not install updates at all, so A is wrong.

Trung2735

I think the question need to be worded more clearly. If it auto-install A, if it wait for approval C. This is verbatim from their website. "Schedule content updates so that they download-and-install automatically. Then, set a Threshold that determines the amount of time the firewall waits before installing the latest content. In a security-first network, schedule a six to twelve hour threshold."
