Question 398

A network security manager is asked to save a configuration to be used after a firewall reboot.

When the configuration is ready, how should it be saved so that the changes are not lost?

    Correct Answer: A

    To prevent configuration changes from being lost after a firewall reboot, you should save the configuration using the 'Save named configuration snapshot' option. This action saves a snapshot of the current configuration that can be loaded and applied after the firewall reboots, ensuring that your changes are preserved.

cjaceOption: A

A. Save named configuration snapshot. This action saves a backup of the candidate configuration to persistent storage on the firewall1. This is useful for preserving changes that would otherwise be lost if a system event or administrator action causes the firewall to reboot1. After rebooting, PAN-OS automatically reverts to the current version of the running configuration, which the firewall stores in a file named running-config.xml1.

JEETKOption: A

To ensure that the configuration changes are not lost after a firewall reboot, you need to commit the configuration. However, to save a configuration in a way that it can be used after a reboot or for backup purposes, you should use the "Save named configuration snapshot" option.
