Palo Alto Networks Network Security Architect Sample Questions:

Question 1

An organization wants to modernize its legacy branch architecture. The existing architecture is rigid, complex, and ill-suited for a cloud-first strategy, creating high operational costs and latency.
- The four core data centers are strategically located in Dallas, Toronto, London and Tokyo, and they are interconnected by a dedicated MPLS backbone providing reliable connectivity but incurring significant costs and offering limited bandwidth scalability.
- Branches rely on MPLS or site-to-site VPN to connect to the nearest geographical data center.
- All internet-bound traffic from the branches is backhauled to the data center egress firewalls.
This creates latency for SaaS applications and increases bandwidth strain on the MPLS links.
The organization requires a proposal for a new WAN architecture for branch connectivity with the goal of improving security posture and SaaS application access as well as supporting local internet breakout for all branch devices, including IoT.
Which two implementations will achieve the goal of modernizing the branch architecture?
(Choose two.)

A. SD-WAN using on-premises NGFWs for Direct Internet Access (DIA)
B. SSE with Prisma Access for mobile users and service connections
C. SASE with Prisma Access for remote networks and service connections
D. NGFW at each branch with Large Scale VPN (LSVPN) for data center access and Direct Internet Access (DIA)


Question 2

A global organization is modernizing its data center and private cloud infrastructure. The environment consists of:
- A Nutanix AHV cluster hosting critical east-west application workloads
- A VMware ESXi cluster with multi-socket hosts, supporting high-throughput workloads (>10 Gbps)
- A new pair of PA-5450 firewalls to secure the perimeter and handle encrypted traffic inspection at scale
- Strict performance service-level agreements (SLAs) for both north-south and east-west flows, with heavy reliance on TLS 1.3 and IPSec
- A Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment on KVM to provide high-performance security services to maximize packet throughput and minimize latency The chief architect is tasked with ensuring that the firewall design avoids hypervisor contention optimizes non-uniform memory access (NUMA) and uses hardware features for encrypted traffic.
VM-Series on Nutanix AHV - Resource Allocation
- Because the Nutanix cluster is already heavily used, the architect's main concern is preventing performance degradation of the virtual firewall. Thin provisioning or ballooning could introduce latency and unpredictability which is unacceptable for a security-sensitive workload.
VM-Series on VMware ESXi - NUMA and vCPU Placement
- In the VMware ESXi environment, the architect is deploying VM-Series for workloads pushing >10 Gbps. Assigning vCPUs across NUMA nodes or oversubscribing cores would create latency due to cross-socket memory access and scheduling delays. Similarly, dedicating logical hypethreads does not provide the deterministic data plane performance required.
Operational Integration and High Availability
- With performance guaranteed by correct hypervisor and hardware provisioning, the architect also considers high availability (HA). VM-Series pairs are deployed in active/passive HA across Nutanix and VMware clusters, while PA-5450s form the data center's north-south secure perimeter deployment. This ensures resilience without introducing unnecessary east-west inspection bottlenecks.
- The recommendation must be a scalable, high-performance firewall deployment aligned with enterprise SLAs and the CISO's encrypted traffic concerns.
While using the VM-Series to build the NFV environment, which configuration should the architect use?

A. SR-IOV-enabled network interfaces and standard Linux bridge networking
B. Virtio drivers connected to an Open vSwitch (OVS) bridge
C. Virtio drivers and DPDK mode enabled
D. SR-IOV-enabled network interfaces and DPDK mode enabled


Question 3

A company wants to reduce false positives in threat detection while maintaining strong security.
What should they do?

A. Tune security profiles and exceptions
B. Remove logging
C. Allow all traffic
D. Disable security profiles


Question 4

A global organization is modernizing its data center and private cloud infrastructure. The environment consists of:
- A Nutanix AHV cluster hosting critical east-west application workloads
- A VMware ESXi cluster with multi-socket hosts, supporting high-throughput workloads (>10 Gbps)
- A new pair of PA-5450 firewalls to secure the perimeter and handle encrypted traffic inspection at scale
- Strict performance service-level agreements (SLAs) for both north-south and east-west flows, with heavy reliance on TLS 1.3 and IPSec
- A Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment on KVM to provide high-performance security services to maximize packet throughput and minimize latency The chief architect is tasked with ensuring that the firewall design avoids hypervisor contention optimizes non-uniform memory access (NUMA) and uses hardware features for encrypted traffic.

This ensures resilience without introducing unnecessary east-west inspection bottlenecks.
- The recommendation must be a scalable, high-performance firewall deployment aligned with enterprise SLAs and the CISO's encrypted traffic concerns.
Which resource allocation strategy should the architect use for the VM-Series virtual machine (VM)?

A. Enable memory overcommitment (ballooning) on the VM to allow the hypervisor to reclaim unused memory for other workloads.
B. Configure the VM with a high-priority setting in the AHV scheduler to ensure it gets preferential access to CPU cycles.
C. Implement CPU and memory reservation for the VM, pinning it to specific physical cores and reserving 100% of its allocated RAM.
D. Use thin provisioning for the VM's virtual disks to save storage space and allow for flexible growth.


Question 5

You need to ensure consistent threat prevention across all applications. Which approach should you use?

A. Apply profiles per application manually
B. Disable inspection
C. Use NAT rules
D. Use Security Profiles Group
