PCNSE Exam Dumps - Palo Alto Networks Certified Security Engineer (PCNSE) PAN-OS 11.0

In a situation where Panorama and its managed firewalls lack internet access, updating PAN-OS requires a manual upload of the downloaded PAN-OS images. The process involves:

D. Upload the image to Panorama > Device Deployment > Software menu, and deploy it to the firewalls:

The engineer first uploads the downloaded PAN-OS images to Panorama. This is done through the "Device Deployment" section, specifically under the "Software" menu. This area of Panorama's interface is designed for managing PAN-OS versions and software updates for the managed devices.

Once the PAN-OS images are uploaded to Panorama, the engineer can then deploy these images to the firewalls directly from Panorama. This process allows for centralized management of software updates, ensuring that all firewalls can be updated to the latest PAN-OS version in a consistent and controlled manner, even without direct internet access.

This method streamlines the update process for environments with strict security requirements, allowing for the efficient deployment of necessary PAN-OS updates to maintain security and functionality.

The vsysadmin role in Palo Alto Networks firewalls is a virtual system (vsys)-specific administrative role with limited privileges. It can commit changes to the candidate configuration of the assigned vsys (Option B) and create/edit Security policies and profiles specific to that vsys (Option C). This role is designed for multi-tenant environments where administrators manage only their assigned virtual systems.

The linked documentation outlines new features for IPSec transport mode in PAN-OS 11.0 and clarifies the requirements for configuring IPSec in transport mode. Based on this:

Auto-Generated Key:

The documentation specifies that IPSec in transport mode requires an auto-generated key during the IKE negotiation process. This ensures the integrity and encryption of the communication channel.

Verdict: Correct.

NAT Traversal:

NAT Traversal is only relevant when NAT is present between the IPSec peers. It is not an inherent requirement for IPSec transport mode.

Verdict: Not correct.

IKEv1:

While IKE (v1 or v2) is required for IPSec, the question specifically asks for transport mode requirements, and IKEv1 is not listed as a strict transport mode requirement in the documentation.

Verdict: Not correct.

DH-group 20 (ECP-384 bits):

The documentation mentions that DH-group 20 (Elliptic Curve Protocol, 384-bit) is one of the required Diffie-Hellman groups for transport mode. This ensures secure key exchange.

Verdict: Correct.

Correct Answer

Based on the documentation: A. Auto Generated KeyD. DH-group 20 (ECP-384 bits)

Why This Answer is Correct

Auto-generated key is fundamental to secure communication in transport mode, as stated in the PAN-OS 11.0 documentation.

DH-group 20 ensures a high level of cryptographic strength for key exchange, making it a specific requirement for transport mode in this context.

To enable the firewall team to view and select from a list of usernames and user groups directly within Panorama policies for new security rule creation, User-ID group mapping should be configured in Panorama under User Identification. This feature allows Panorama to collect user and group information from various sources (like Active Directory) and use this information to create policies. By setting up User-ID group mapping, administrators can leverage user identity as criteria in security rules, enabling more granular access control and policy enforcement based on user or group membership, thereby enhancing the overall security posture.
