Free Palo Alto Networks NGFW-Engineer Exam Dumps Questions & Answers

An administrator is designing a public key infrastructure (PKI) integration for a large-scale deployment with thousands of users authenticating via client certificates. A key design goal is to ensure that certificate revocation status is checked efficiently with minimal impact on firewall performance and minimal delay for the connecting user.
What is the primary advantage of using the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) instead of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) in this scenario?

• A.OCSP bundles all certificate statuses into a single, digitally signed file for faster downloads by the firewall.
• B.OCSP allows the firewall to act as its own certificate authority (CA), and it simplifies certificate management.
• C.OCSP is an older, more widely supported protocol than CRLs. ensuring compatibility with all client devices.
• D.OCSP provides real-time status for a certificate on demand, is more scalable, and uses less firewall memory.

To maintain security efficacy of its public cloud resources by using native tools, a company purchases Cloud NGFW credits to replicate the Panorama, PA-Series, and VM-Series devices used in physical data centers.
Resources exist on AWS and Azure:
The AWS deployment is architected with AWS Transit Gateway, to which all resources connect The Azure deployment is architected with each application independently routing traffic The engineer deploying Cloud NGFW in these two cloud environments must account for the following:
Minimize changes to the two cloud environments
Scale to the demands of the applications while using the least amount of compute resources Allow the company to unify the Security policies across all protected areas Which two implementations will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

• A.Deploy Cloud NGFW for AWS in a centralized Security VPC, update the Transit Gateway to route all appropriate traffic through the Security VPC, and manage the policy with Panorama.
• B.Deploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vWAN, create a vWAN to route all appropriate traffic to the Cloud NGFW attached to the vWAN, and manage the policy with local rules.
• C.Deploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vNET/s, update the vNET/s routing to path traffic through the deployed NGFWs, and manage the policy with Panorama.
• D.Deploy a VM-Series firewall in AWS in each VPC, create an IPSec tunnel between AWS and Azure, and manage the policy with Panorama.

An engineer configures a PA-440 firewall to act as a switch by creating several Layer 2 interfaces and assigning them all to VLAN 20. A file server is connected to interface ethernet1/1, and client workstations are connected to interfaces ethernet1/2 and ethemet1/3. All devices are in VLAN 20. The clients are unable to access the file server.
Which configuration step to allow this communication by default is missing?

• A.Create an Aggregate Ethernet (AE) group that includes all three interfaces.
• B.Create an "allow" Security policy with the source and destination VLAN set to "VLAN 20".
• C.Place ethernet1/1, ethernet1/2, and ethernet1/3 into the same Layer 2 zone.
• D.Create a Layer 3 subinterface for VLAN 20 to enable routing.

Which two statements describe an external zone in the context of virtual systems (VSYS) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall? (Choose two.)

• A.It is associated with an interface within a VSYS of a firewall.
• B.It is a security object associated with a specific VSYS.
• C.It is a security object associated with a specific virtual router of a VSYS.
• D.It is not associated with an interface; it is associated with a VSYS itself.

In a Palo Alto Networks environment, GlobalProtect has been enabled using certificate-based authentication for both users and devices. To ensure proper validation of certificates, one or more certificate profiles are configured.
What function do certificate profiles serve in this context?

• A.They allow the firewall to bypass certificate validation entirely, focusing only on username / password- based authentication.
• B.They store private keys for users and devices, effectively allowing the firewall to issue or reissue certificates if the primary Certificate Authority (CA) becomes unavailable, providing a built-in fallback CA to maintain continuous certificate issuance and authentication.
• C.They define trust anchors (root / intermediate Certificate Authorities (CAs)), specify revocation checks (CRL/OCSP), and map certificate attributes (e.g., CN) for user or device authentication.
• D.They provide a one-click mechanism to distribute certificates to all endpoints without relying on external enrollment methods.
