NEW QUESTION # 135
What is the best description of the Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min)?
- A. The maximum interval between hello packets that are sent to verify that the HA functionality on the other firewall is operational
- B. The timeframe within which the firewall must receive keepalives from a cluster member to know that the cluster member is functional
- C. The time that a passive or active-secondary firewall will wait before taking over as the active or active-primary firewall
- D. The maximum time that the local firewall waits before going to Active state when another cluster member is preventing the cluster from fully synchronizing
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The best description of the Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min) is the maximum time that the local firewall waits before going to Active state when another cluster member is preventing the cluster from fully synchronizing. This is a parameter that can be configured in an HA cluster, which is a group of firewalls that share session state and provide high availability and scalability. The Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min) determines how long the local firewall will wait for the cluster to reach a stable state before it decides to become Active and process traffic. A stable state means that all cluster members are either Active or Passive, and have synchronized their sessions with each other. If there is another cluster member that is in an unknown or unstable state, such as Initializing, Non-functional, or Suspended, then it may prevent the cluster from fully synchronizing and cause a delay in traffic processing. The Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min) can be set to a value between 0 and 30 minutes, with a default of 0. If it is set to 0, then the local firewall will not wait for any other cluster member and will immediately go to Active state. If it is set to a positive value, then the local firewall will wait for that amount of time before going to Active state, unless the cluster reaches a stable state earlier12.

NEW QUESTION # 139
A company wants to install a PA-3060 firewall between two core switches on a VLAN trunk link. They need to assign each VLAN to its own zone and to assign untagged (native) traffic to its own zone which options differentiates multiple VLAN into separate zones?
- A. Create V-Wire objects with two V-Wire interfaces and define a range of "0-4096'' in the "Tag Allowed" field of the V-Wire object.
- B. Create Layer 3 subinterfaces that are each assigned to a single VLAN ID and a common virtual router. The physical Layer 3 interface would handle untagged traffic. Assign each interface/subinterface tA. unique zone. Do not assign any interface an IP address.
- C. Create V-Wire objects with two V-Wire subinterfaces and assign only a single VLAN ID to the Tag Allowed" field of the V-Wire object. Repeat for every additional VLAN and use a VLAN ID of 0 for untagged traffic. Assign each interface/sub interface to a unique zone.
- D. Create VLAN objects for each VLAN and assign VLAN interfaces matching each VLAN ID. Repeat for every additional VLAN and use a VLAN ID of 0 for untagged traffic. Assign each interface/sub interface to a unique zone.
Answer: C
Explanation:
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-0/pan-os-admin/networking/configure-interfaces/virtual-wire-interfaces/vlan-tagged-traffic Virtual wire interfaces by default allow all untagged traffic. You can, however, use a virtual wire to connect two interfaces and configure either interface to block or allow traffic based on the virtual LAN (VLAN) tags. VLAN tag 0 indicates untagged traffic.
You can also create multiple subinterfaces, add them into different zones, and then classify traffic according to a VLAN tag or a combination of a VLAN tag with IP classifiers (address, range, or subnet) to apply granular policy control for specific VLAN tags or for VLAN tags from a specific source IP address, range, or subnet.

NEW QUESTION # 141
An engineer is tasked with configuring a Zone Protection profile on the untrust zone. Which three settings can be configured on a Zone Protection profile? (Choose three.)
- A. Resource Protection
- B. DoS Protection
- C. Ethernet SGT Protection
- D. Protocol Protection
- E. Reconnaissance Protection
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation:
B) Protocol Protection: Protocol protection is used to limit or block traffic that uses certain protocols or application functions. For example, a Zone Protection profile can be configured to block traffic that uses non-standard protocols, such as IP-in-IP, or to limit the number of concurrent sessions for certain protocols, such as SIP.
C) DoS Protection: DoS protection is used to protect against various types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, such as SYN floods, UDP floods, ICMP floods, and others. A Zone Protection profile can be configured to limit the rate of traffic for certain protocols or to drop traffic that matches specific patterns, such as malformed packets or packets with invalid headers.
D) Reconnaissance Protection: Reconnaissance protection is used to prevent attackers from gathering information about the network, such as by using port scans or other techniques. A Zone Protection profile can be configured to limit the rate of traffic for certain types of reconnaissance, such as port scans or OS fingerprinting, or to drop traffic that matches specific patterns, such as packets with invalid flags or payloads.

NEW QUESTION # 143
A Security policy rule is configured with a Vulnerability Protection Profile and an action of `Deny".
Which action will this cause configuration on the matched traffic?
- A. The configuration is valid. It will cause the firewall to deny the matched sessions. Any configured Security Profiles have no effect if the Security policy rule action is set to "Deny."
- B. The configuration is invalid. It will cause the firewall to skip this Security policy rule. A warning will be displayed during a commit.
- C. The configuration will allow the matched session unless a vulnerability is detected. The "Deny" action will supersede the per-severity defined actions defined in the associated Vulnerability Protection Profile.
- D. The configuration is invalid. The Profile Settings section will be grayed out when the Action is set to "Deny".
Answer: A
Explanation:
"Security profiles are not used in the match criteria of a traffic flow. The security profile is applied to scan traffic after the application or category is allowed by the security policy."

- B. Data filtering
- C. Credential phishing prevention
- D. User-ID
Answer: C
Explanation:
Reference:
https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/how-the-next-generation-security-platform-contributes-to-gdpr-compliance
"Credential phishing prevention works by scanning username and password submissions to websites and comparing those submissions against valid corporate credentials. You can choose what websites you want to either allow, alert on, or block corporate credential submissions to based on the URL category of the website. Alternatively, you can present a page that warns users against submitting credentials to sites classified in certain URL categories. This gives you the opportunity to educate users against reusing corporate credentials, even on legitimate, non-phishing sites. In the event that corporate credentials are compromised, this feature allows you to identify the user who submitted credentials so that you can remediate."
