B. File Blocking profiles applied to outbound security policies with action set to alert
C. Vulnerability Protection profiles applied to outbound security policies with action set to block
D. Antivirus profiles applied to outbound security policies with action set to alert
Answer: A
Explanation:
Starting with PAN-OS 6.0, DNS sinkhole is an action that can be enabled in Anti-Spyware
profiles. A DNS sinkhole can be used to identify infected hosts on a protected network using DNS
traffic in environments where the firewall can see the DNS query to a malicious URL.
The DNS sinkhole enables the Palo Alto Networks device to forge a response to a DNS query for
a known malicious domain/URL and causes the malicious domain name to resolve to a definable
IP address (fake IP) that is given to the client. If the client attempts to access the fake IP address
and there is a security rule in place that blocks traffic to this IP, the information is recorded in the
logs.

Forward - When the specified file type is detected, the file is sent to WildFire for analysis. A log
is also generated in the data filtering log.
Block - When the specified file type is detected, the file is blocked and a customizable block
page is presented to the user. A log is also generated in the data filtering log.
Alert - When the specified file type is detected, a log is generated in the data filtering log.
Continue - When the specified file type is detected, a customizable response page is presented
to the user. The user can click through the page to download the file. A log is also generated in
the data filtering log. Because this type of forwarding action requires user interaction, it is only
applicable for web traffic.
Continue-and-forward - When the specified file type is detected, a customizable continuation
page is presented to the user. The user can click through the page to download the file. If the
user clicks through the continue page to download the file, the file is sent to WildFire for analysis.

QUESTION 20
Palo Alto Networks maintains a dynamic database of malicious domains.
Which two Security Platform components use this database to prevent threats? (Choose two)
A. Brute-force signatures
B. BrightCloud Url Filtering
C. PAN-DB URL Filtering
D. DNS-based command-and-control signatures
Answer: CD
Explanation:
C: PAN-DB categorizes URLs based on their content at the domain, file and page level, and
receives updates from WildFire cloud-based malware analysis environment every 30 minutes to
make sure that, when web content changes, so do categorizations. This continuous feedback
loop enables you to keep pace with the rapidly changing nature of the web, automatically.
D: DNS is a very necessary and ubiquitous application, as such, it is a very commonly abused
protocol for command-and-control and data exfiltration. This tech brief summarizes the DNS
classification, inspection and protection capabilities supported by our next-generation security
platform, which includes:
1. Malformed DNS messages (symptomatic of vulnerability exploitation attack).
2. DNS responses with suspicious composition (abused query types, DNS-based denial of
service attacks).
3. DNS queries for known malicious domains. Our ability to prevent threats from hiding within
DNS
The passive DNS network feature allows you to opt-in to share anonymized DNS query and
response data with our global passive DNS network. The data is continuously mined to discover
malicious domains that are then added to the PAN-OS DNS signature set that is delivered daily,
enabling timely detection of compromised hosts within the network and the disruption of
command-and-control channels that rely on name resolution.

QUESTION 21
Which two methods can be used to mitigate resource exhaustion of an application server?
(Choose two)
Get Latest & Actual PCNSE Exam's Question and Answers from Passleader. 11
http://www.passleader.com
A. Vulnerability Object
B. DoS Protection Profile
C. Data Filtering Profile
D. Zone Protection Profile
Answer: BD
Explanation:
B: There are two DoS protection mechanisms that the Palo Alto Networks firewalls support.
* Flood Protection - Detects and prevents attacks where the network is flooded with packets
resulting in too many half-open sessions and/or services being unable to respond to each
request. In this case the source address of the attack is usually spoofed.
* Resource Protection - Detects and prevent session exhaustion attacks. In this type of attack, a
large number of hosts (bots) are used to establish as many fully established sessions as possible
to consume all of a system’s resources.
You can enable both types of protection mechanisms in a single DoS protection profile.
D: Provides additional protection between specific network zones in order to protect the zones
against attack. The profile must be applied to the entire zone, so it is important to carefully test
the profiles in order to prevent issues that may arise with the normal traffic traversing the zones.
When defining packets per second (pps) thresholds limits for zone protection profiles, the
threshold is based on the packets per second that do not match a previously established session.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Vulnerability protection stops attempts to exploit system flaws or gain unauthorized access to
systems. For example, this feature will protect against buffer overflows, illegal code execution,
and other attempts to exploit system vulnerabilities.
C: Data Filtering helps to prevent sensitive information such as credit card or social security
numbers from leaving a protected network.

What must be used in Security Policy Rule that contain addresses where NAT policy applies?
Answer: C
Explanation:
NAT Policy Rule Functionality
Upon ingress, the firewall inspects the packet and does a route lookup to determine the egress
interface and zone. Then the firewall determines if the packet matches one of the NAT rules that
have been defined, based on source and/or destination zone. It then evaluates and applies any
security policies that match the packet based on the original (pre-NAT) source and destination
addresses, but the post-NAT zones.

10.66.24.88 as the next hop for the 192.168.93.0/30 network?
A. Configuring the administrative Distance for RIP to be lower than that of OSPF Int.
B. Configuring the metric for RIP to be higher than that of OSPF Int.
C. Configuring the administrative Distance for RIP to be higher than that of OSPF Ext.
D. Configuring the metric for RIP to be lower than that OSPF Ext.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The best route is then selected among them based on Administrative Distance (AD) value of
routing protocols which routes came from and that route is marked with flag A, stating that it is the
Active route.
Administrative distance (AD) is an arbitrary numerical value assigned to dynamic routes, static
routes and directly-connected routes. The value is used by vendor-specific routers to rank routes
from most preferred to least preferred. When multiple paths to the same destination are available,
the router uses the route with the lowest administrative distance and inserts the preferred route
into its routing table.

QUESTION 41
How is the Forward Untrust Certificate used?
A. It issues certificates encountered on the Untrust security zone when clients attempt to connect to
a site that has be decrypted/
B. It is used when web servers request a client certificate.
C. It is presented to clients when the server they are connecting to is signed by a certificate authority
that is not trusted by firewall.
D. It is used for Captive Portal to identify unknown users.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Though a single certificate can be used for both Forward Trust and Forward Untrust, creating a
separate certificate specifically for Untrust (which must be generated as a CA) allows for easy
differentiation of a valid certificate/trust error as the Palo Alto Networks device proxies the secure
session.
Verify the CA to be blocked, keeping in mind that doing so blocks access to all sites issued by
this CA.

Answer: D
QUESTION 102
A network design change requires an existing firewall to start accessing Palo Alto Updates from a
dataplane interface address instead of the management interface.
Which configuration setting needs to be modified?
A. Authentication profile
B. Default route
C. Service route
D. Management profile
Answer: C
Explanation:
The firewall uses the management (MGT) interface by default to access external services, such
as DNS servers, external authentication servers, Palo Alto Networks services such as software,
URL updates, licenses and AutoFocus. An alternative to using the MGT interface is to configure a
data port (a regular interface) to access these services. The path from the interface to the service
on a server is known as a service route. The service packets exit the firewall on the port assigned
for the external service and the server sends its response to the configured source interface and
source IP address.
You can configure service routes globally for the firewall or Customize Service Routes for a
Virtual System on a firewall enabled for multiple virtual systems so that you have the flexibility to
use interfaces associated with a virtual system.

QUESTION 107
A file sharing application is being permitted and no one knows what this application is used for.
How should this application be blocked?
Answer: C
Explanation:
The firewall uses file blocking profiles two ways: to forward files to WildFire for analysis or to
block specified file types over specified applications and in the specified session flow direction
(inbound/outbound/both).
You can set the profile to alert or block on upload and/or download and you can specify which
applications will be subject to the file blocking profile. You can also configure custom block pages
that will appear when a user attempts to download the specified file type. This allows the user to
take a moment to consider whether or not they want to download a file.
Incorrect Answers:
D: Use a WildFire analysis profile to enable the firewall to forward unknown files or email links for
WildFire analysis. Specify files to be forwarded for analysis based on application, file type, and
transmission direction (upload or download).

QUESTION 108
YouTube videos are consuming too much bandwidth on the network, causing delays in mission-
critical traffic. The administrator wants to throttle YouTube traffic.
The following interfaces and zones are in use on the firewall:
A QoS profile has been created, and QoS has been enabled on both interfaces. A QoS rule exists
to put the YouTube application into QoS class 6. Interface Ethernet 1/1 has a QoS profile called
Outbound, and interface Ethernet 1/21 has a QoS profile called Inbound.
Which setting for Class 6 will throttle YouTube traffic?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Identify the egress interface for applications that you identified as needing QoS treatment.
The egress interface for traffic depends on the traffic flow. If you are shaping incoming traffic, the
egress interface is the internal-facing interface. If you are shaping outgoing traffic, the egress
interface is the external-facing interface.

What are two prerequisites for configuring a pair of Palo Alto Networks firewalls in an
active/passive High Availability (HA) pair? (Choose two.)
Answer: BC
Explanation:
To set up high availability on your Palo Alto Networks firewalls, you need a pair of firewalls that
meet the following requirements:
The same set of licenses --Licenses are unique to each firewall and cannot be shared between
the firewalls. Therefore, you must license both firewalls identically. If both firewalls do not have an
identical set of licenses, they cannot synchronize configuration information and maintain parity for
a seamless failover.
The same type of interfaces --Dedicated HA links, or a combination of the management port and
in-band ports that are set to interface type HA.
Determine the IP address for the HA1 (control) connection between the HA peers. The HA1 IP
address for both peers must be on the same subnet if they are directly connected or are
connected to the same switch.

QUESTION 117
A network design calls for a "router on a stick" implementation with a PA-5060 performing inter-
VLAN routing. All VLAN-tagged traffic will be forwarded to the PA-5060 through a single dot1q
trunk interface.
Which interface type and configuration setting will support this design?
Answer: A
Explanation:
The interface ethernet1/15 is configured as a layer 3 interface. Subinterfaces corresponding to
each one of the VLAN are created off of the parent interface Ethernet 1/15. Each subinterface is
assigned a VLAN tag and an IP address corresponding to the VLAN provides connectivity.

Note: Inter VLAN routing with each VLAN in a unique IP subnet In order for network devices in
different VLANs to communicate, a router must be used to route traffic between the VLANs. While
VLANs help to control local traffic, if a device in one VLAN needs to communicate with a device in
another VLAN, one or more routers must be used for inter VLAN communication. In this
configuration a Palo Alto networks firewall can used to securely route traffic within the VLAN. This
is also commonly called "one arm routing" or "router on a stick".

QUESTION 123
Which authentication source requires the installation of Palo Alto Networks software, other than
PAN-OS 7x, to obtain username-to-IP-address mapping?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Configure User Mapping for Terminal Server Users
Individual terminal server users appear to have the same IP address and therefore an IP address
to username mapping is not sufficient to identify a specific user. To enable identification of
specific users on Windows-based terminal servers, the Palo Alto Networks Terminal Services
agent (TS agent) allocates a port range to each user. It then notifies every connected firewall
about the allocated port range, which allows the firewall to create an IP address-port-user
mapping table and enable user- and group-based security policy enforcement.
Incorrect Answers:

backbone has the reserved area ID of 0.0.0.0. All other areas are connected to it and all traffic
between areas must traverse it. All routing between areas is distributed through the backbone
area. While all other OSPF areas must connect to the backbone area, this connection doesn't
need to be direct and can be made through a virtual link.
