Paloalto Networks NetSec-Pro Actual Questions

Palo Alto Networks requires upgrading to thenext major feature releasebefore moving to newer releases. This ensures stability and compatibility.

“When upgrading across multiple major PAN-OS releases, you must upgrade to each intermediate major feature release. Skipping major releases is not supported.”

For PAN-OS 9.1 → 11.2, the proper path is:

9.1 → 10.0 → 11.2

Strata Cloud Manager (SCM)offers acloud-based unified managementplane for both NGFWs and Prisma Access, enabling consistent policy enforcement, simplified management, and AI-driven operational insights.

“Strata Cloud Manager provides a single interface for unified management of NGFWs and Prisma Access, leveraging AI to optimize security operations and streamline workflows.”

Unlike Panorama, which is an on-premises management solution, SCM delivers cloud-based, AI-driven capabilities for centralized oversight.

Negated source addressesexclude traffic from the specified region. To avoid accidental connectivity loss for trafficfrom that region, create a separate Security policy toexplicitly permit it.

“When you use a negated region in a Security policy rule, ensure to create an additional Security policy to permit traffic from the excluded (negated) region to avoid unintentional drops.”

This ensuresexplicit inclusivity for the excluded region, maintaining reliable connectivity.

Voice quality issues in SD-WAN deployments are typically linked to path performance metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss). Reviewingreal-time analyticshelps pinpoint root causes and appropriate mitigation.

“When experiencing performance issues, the first step is to analyze real-time performance data. Prisma SD-WAN provides path quality analytics to identify degradation and ensure informed troubleshooting.”
