Which three resources can help conduct planning and implementation of Palo Alto Networks NGFW solutions? (Choose three.)

  1. Technical assistance center (TAC)
  2. Partners / systems Integrators
  3. Professional services
  4. Proof of Concept Labs
  5. QuickStart services

Answer(s): B,C,E

Explanation:

Several resources are available to assist with planning and implementing Palo Alto Networks NGFW solutions:
A . Technical assistance center (TAC): While TAC provides support for existing deployments, they are generally not directly involved in the initial planning and implementation phases. TAC helps with troubleshooting and resolving issues after the firewall is deployed.
B . Partners / systems Integrators: Partners and system integrators play a crucial role in planning and implementation. They possess expertise in network design, security best practices, and Palo Alto Networks products, enabling them to design and deploy solutions tailored to customer needs.
C . Professional services: Palo Alto Networks professional services offer expert assistance with all phases of the project, from planning and design to implementation and knowledge transfer. They can provide specialized skills and best-practice guidance.
D . Proof of Concept Labs: While valuable for testing and validating solutions, Proof of Concept (POC) labs are more focused on evaluating the technology before a full-scale implementation. They are not the primary resources for the actual planning and implementation process itself, though they can inform it.
E . QuickStart services: QuickStart packages are a type of professional service specifically designed for rapid deployment. They provide a structured approach to implementation, accelerating the time to value.


Reference:

Information about these resources can be found on the Palo Alto Networks website and partner portal:
Partner locator: The Palo Alto Networks website has a partner locator tool to find certified partners and system integrators.
Professional services: Details about Palo Alto Networks professional services offerings, including QuickStart packages, are available on their website.
These resources confirm that partners/system integrators, professional services (including QuickStart), are key resources for planning and implementation.
While TAC and POCs have roles, they are not the primary resources for this phase.



A company wants to make its flexible-license VM-Series firewall, which runs on ESXi, process higher throughput.
Which order of steps should be followed to minimize downtime?

  1. Increase the vCPU within the deployment profile.
    Retrieve or fetch license keys on the VM-Series NGFW.
    Power-off the VM and increase the vCPUs within the hypervisor.
    Power-on the VM-Series NGFW.
    Confirm the correct tier level and vCPU appear on the NGFW dashboard.
  2. Power-off the VM and increase the vCPUs within the hypervisor.
    Power-on the VM-Series NGFW.
    Retrieve or fetch license keys on the VM-Series NGFW.
    Increase the vCPU within the deployment profile.
    Confirm the correct tier level and vCPU appear on the NGFW dashboard.
  3. Power-off the VM and increase the vCPUs within the hypervisor.
    Increase the vCPU within the deployment profile.
    Retrieve or fetch license keys on the VM-Series NGFW.
    Confirm the correct tier level and vCPU appear on the NGFW dashboard.
    Power-on the VM-Series NGFW.
  4. Increase the vCPU within the deployment profile.
    Retrieve or fetch license keys on the VM-Series NGFW.
    Confirm the correct tier level and vCPU appear on the NGFW dashboard.
    Power-off the VM and increase the vCPUs within the hypervisor.
    Power-on the VM-Series NGFW.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

To minimize downtime when increasing throughput on a flexible-license VM-Series firewall running on ESXi, the following steps should be taken:
Increase the vCPU within the deployment profile: This is the first step. By increasing the vCPU allocation in the licensing profile, you prepare the license system for the change. This does not require a VM reboot.

Retrieve or fetch license keys on the VM-Series NGFW: After adjusting the licensing profile, the firewall needs to retrieve the updated license information to reflect the new vCPU allocation. This can be done via the web UI or CLI and usually does not require a reboot. Power-off the VM and increase the vCPUs within the hypervisor: Now that the license is prepared, the VM can be powered off, and the vCPUs can be increased within the ESXi hypervisor settings. Power-on the VM-Series NGFW: After increasing the vCPUs in the hypervisor, power on the VM. The firewall will now use the allocated resources and the updated license. Confirm the correct tier level and vCPU appear on the NGFW dashboard: Finally, verify in the firewall's web UI or CLI that the correct license tier and vCPU count are reflected. This order minimizes downtime because the licensing changes are handled before the VM is rebooted.


Reference:

While not explicitly documented in a single, numbered step list, the concepts are covered in the VM- Series deployment guides and licensing documentation:
VM-Series Deployment Guides: These guides explain how to configure vCPUs and licensing. Flex Licensing Documentation: This explains how license allocation works with vCPUs. These resources confirm that adjusting the license profile before the VM reboot is crucial for minimizing downtime.



A Cloud NGFW for Azure can be deployed to which two environments? (Choose two.)

  1. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
  2. Azure Virtual WAN
  3. Azure DevOps
  4. Azure VNET

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

Cloud NGFW for Azure is designed to secure network traffic within and between Azure environments:
A . Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): While CN-Series firewalls are designed for securing Kubernetes environments like AKS, Cloud NGFW is not directly deployed within AKS. Instead, Cloud NGFW secures traffic flowing to and from AKS clusters.
B . Azure Virtual WAN: Cloud NGFW can be deployed to secure traffic flowing through Azure Virtual WAN hubs. This allows for centralized security inspection of traffic between on-premises networks, branch offices, and Azure virtual networks.
C . Azure DevOps: Azure DevOps is a set of development tools and services. Cloud NGFW is a network security solution and is not directly related to Azure DevOps.
D . Azure VNET: Cloud NGFW can be deployed to secure traffic within and between Azure Virtual Networks (VNETs). This is its primary use case, providing advanced threat prevention and network security for Azure workloads.


Reference:

The Cloud NGFW for Azure documentation clearly describes these deployment scenarios:
Cloud NGFW for Azure Documentation: Search for "Cloud NGFW for Azure" on the Palo Alto Networks support portal. This documentation explains how to deploy Cloud NGFW in VNETs and integrate it with Virtual WAN.

This confirms that Azure VNETs and Azure Virtual WAN are the supported deployment environments for Cloud NGFW.



Which three statements describe benefits of Palo Alto Networks Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) over other vendor solutions? (Choose three.)

  1. Individually targeted products provide better security than platform solutions.
  2. Multi-vendor best-of-breed products provide security coverage on a per-use-case basis.
  3. It requires no additional performance overhead when enabling additional features.
  4. It provides simplified management through fewer consoles for more effective security coverage.
  5. It significantly reduces the total cost of ownership for the customer.

Answer(s): C,D,E

Explanation:

Palo Alto Networks Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) offer several advantages over other security solutions:
A . Individually targeted products provide better security than platform solutions: This is generally the opposite of Palo Alto Networks' philosophy. CDSS is a platform approach, integrating multiple security functions into a unified service. This integrated approach is often more effective than managing disparate point solutions.
B . Multi-vendor best-of-breed products provide security coverage on a per-use-case basis: While "best-of-breed" has its merits, managing multiple vendors increases complexity and can lead to integration challenges. CDSS provides a comprehensive set of security services from a single vendor, simplifying management and integration.
C . It requires no additional performance overhead when enabling additional features: This is a key advantage of CDSS. Because the services are cloud-delivered and integrated into the platform, enabling additional security functions typically does not introduce significant performance overhead on the firewall itself.
D . It provides simplified management through fewer consoles for more effective security coverage:
CDSS is managed through Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager, providing a single pane of glass for managing multiple security functions. This simplifies management compared to managing separate consoles for different security products.
E . It significantly reduces the total cost of ownership for the customer: By consolidating security functions into a single platform and reducing management overhead, CDSS can help reduce the total cost of ownership compared to deploying and managing separate point solutions.


Reference:
