When identifying devices for IoT classification purposes, which two methods does Prisma SD-WAN use to discover devices that are not directly connected to the branch ION? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): C,D
Prisma SD-WAN uses SNMP and Syslog to identify IoT devices that are not directly connected to the branch ION. SNMP provides network device information such as hostnames, interfaces, and connected clients, while Syslog delivers device-generated logs that can reveal connected endpoints and traffic patterns, allowing Prisma SD-WAN to classify and profile IoT devices indirectly.
A network administrator is troubleshooting a critical SaaS application, “SuperSaaSApp”, that is experiencing connectivity issues. Initially, the configured active and backup paths for the application were reported as completely down at Layer 3. The Prisma SD-WAN system attempted to route traffic for the application over an L3 failure path that was explicitly configured as a Standard VPN to Prisma Access.However, users are still reporting a complete outage for the application and monitoring tools show application flows being dropped when attempting to use the Standard VPN L3 failure path, even though the tunnel itself appears to be up. The administrator suspects a policy misconfiguration related to how the Standard VPN path interacts with destination groups.What is the most likely reason for flows being dropped when attempting to use the Standard VPN L3 failure path?
Answer(s): C
Flows are dropped because the Standard VPN L3 failure path is configured without an associated Standard Services and DC Group. Prisma SD-WAN requires a matching Services/DC Group definition for any Standard VPN path to correctly identify and forward traffic. Without this mapping, the system cannot determine a valid destination for the SaaS application over the Standard VPN, causing all flows to be dropped even though the tunnel itself is up.
User-ID integration is configured for a Prisma SD-WAN deployment. Branch-1 has the user-to-IP mappings available, and User-1 is mapped to IP-1.To which two use cases can User-ID based zone-based firewall policies be applied? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): A,B
User-ID mappings in Prisma SD-WAN are local to the branch where they are learned. Therefore, zone-based firewall policies using User-ID can only be enforced on the same branch ION where the mapping exists.Applies because User-1’s mapping (IP-1) is known at Branch-1, allowing User-ID–based source rules for SaaS traffic going directly to the internet.Applies because the mapping also allows User-ID–based source rules for private applications accessed within the same Branch-1 network.
A site has two internet circuits: Circuit A with 500 Mbps capacity and Circuit B with 100 Mbps capacity.Which path policy configuration will ensure traffic is automatically shifted from a saturated circuit to the circuit with available bandwidth?
To enable automatic traffic shifting based on bandwidth availability, both circuits must be configured as active paths in the path policy. This allows Prisma SD-WAN to perform dynamic load balancing and link saturation detection, ensuring that when one circuit becomes congested, new or existing flows can be shifted to the circuit with available capacity.
What is the purpose of Secure Group Tag (SGT) propagation in Prisma SD-WAN?
Answer(s): A
Secure Group Tag (SGT) propagation in Prisma SD-WAN allows the system to share user identity and group context with external identity-based security solutions, such as Cisco ISE or Palo Alto Networks firewalls. This integration enables consistent, identity-based access control and segmentation policies across the network.
