An organization has Palo Alto Networks NGFWs that send logs to remote monitoring and security management platforms. The network team has reported

excessive traffic on the corporate WAN.

How could the Palo Alto Networks NGFW administrator reduce WAN traffic while maintaining support for all the existing monitoring/security platforms?

Forward logs from firewalls only to Panorama and have Panorama forward logs to other external services.
Forward logs from external sources to Panorama for correlation, and from Panorama send them to the NGFW.
Configure log compression and optimization features on all remote firewalls.
Any configuration on an M-500 would address the insufficient bandwidth concerns.

Correct answer: C

A company needs to preconfigure firewalls to be sent to remote sites with the least amount of preconfiguration. Once deployed, each firewall must establish secure tunnels back to multiple regional data centers to include the future regional data centers.

Which VPN configuration would adapt to changes when deployed to the future site?

Preconfigured GlobalProtect satellite
Preconfigured GlobalProtect client
Preconfigured IPsec tunnels
Preconfigured PPTP Tunnels

Correct answer: A

An administrator pushes a new configuration from Panorama to a pair of firewalls that are configured as an active/passive HA pair.

Which NGFW receives the configuration from Panorama?

The passive firewall, which then synchronizes to the active firewall
The active firewall, which then synchronizes to the passive firewall
Both the active and passive firewalls, which then synchronize with each other
Both the active and passive firewalls independently, with no synchronization afterward

Correct answer: C

An administrator cannot see any Traffic logs from the Palo Alto Networks NGFW in Panorama reports. The configuration problem seems to be on the firewall.

When configuring a GlobalProtect Portal, what is the purpose of specifying an Authentication Profile?

To enable Gateway authentication to the Portal
To enable Portal authentication to the Gateway
To enable user authentication to the Portal
To enable client machine authentication to the Portal

Correct answer: C

Explanation:

The additional options of Browser and Satellite enable you to specify the authentication profile to use for specific scenarios. Select Browser to specify the authentication profile to use to authenticate a user accessing the portal from a web browser with the intent of downloading the GlobalProtect agent (Windows and Mac). Select Satellite to specify the authentication profile to use to authenticate the satellite.
