QuestionQ1

Deployment and Configuration

Complete discovery and classification of IoT devices by the IoT Security service is failing.

Which Prisma SD-WAN ION device configuration would cause this behavior?

  • A The ION devices are missing DHCP Configuration. If ION devices are not explicitly configured as either a DHCP relay agent or a DHCP server, DHCP traffic logs will not be sent to the Strata Logging Service, resulting in incomplete device profiles for IoT Security.
  • B The Prisma SD-WAN ION devices lack properly configured or enabled Service Health Probes specifically targeting the IoT device subnets. Without these active probes, the system cannot gather critical real-time reachability and performance metrics essential for dynamic device profiling and classification.
  • C The Syslog export configuration on the ION devices to the Strata Logging Service has filters that are too restrictive, potentially excluding logs vital for IoT Security’s device identification and classification engine. This prevents comprehensive event data, including device discovery messages, from reaching the portal.
  • D The ION devices are not configured to explicitly enable and export IPFIX flow records, especially those containing Layer 2 and Layer 7 context, to the Strata Logging Service for IoT Security. While ARP data is sent by default, comprehensive device classification relies on these detailed flow records, which are not being captured.
Explanation

ION devices send ARP traffic logs by default, but they send DHCP traffic logs to Strata Logging Service only when configured as a DHCP relay agent or DHCP server. DHCP metadata supplies the IP-address-to-MAC-address mappings needed for reliable device discovery, identification, and classification.

QuestionQ2

Unified SASE

Which implementation enables Prisma SD-WAN to enhance application performance for organizations experiencing inconsistent user experiences across branch locations—particularly because of differing device types and network conditions—by using Layer 4 and Layer 7 optimization to increase throughput?

  • A Packet duplication
  • B WAN optimization
  • C Forward Error Correction (FEC)
  • D Application acceleration
Explanation

Prisma SD-WAN Application Acceleration uses Layer 4 and Layer 7 acceleration to improve throughput and application access. Its Layer 4 optimization incorporates device capabilities, network capabilities, application context, and changing network conditions to improve TCP performance and recover throughput more effectively on adverse networks.

QuestionQ3

Deployment and Configuration

In which deployment modes can a Prisma SD-WAN branch be deployed?

  • A Testing, Control, POV
  • B Production, Control, Disabled
  • C Disabled, Analytics, Control
  • D POV, Production, Analytics
Explanation

Prisma SD-WAN supports three branch deployment modes: Analytics, which monitors traffic without applying policies or path selection; Control, which forwards traffic and applies policies and path selection; and Disabled, which acts only as an in-path link.

QuestionQ4

Planning and Design

Network segmentation is needed because of overlapping IP address space and M&A scenarios.

Which Prisma SD-WAN feature provides the required segmentation and end-to-end connectivity for this use case?

  • A Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) profiles with proper site bindings to achieve desired isolation across the underlay
  • B Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) profiles with proper site bindings to achieve desired isolation locally and across the secure fabric
  • C Multiple contexts with interface segmentation to achieve desired isolation across the underlay
  • D Multiple virtual routers with interface segmentation to achieve desired isolation across the secure fabric
Explanation

Prisma SD-WAN Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) profiles create separate routing domains that allow overlapping IP prefixes to remain isolated. Assigning the appropriate VRF profile to each site preserves that isolation locally and throughout the secure SD-WAN fabric while enabling connectivity within the intended segment.

QuestionQ5

Operations and Monitoring

A network administrator at an organization that uses Prisma SD-WAN needs to identify the top applications specifically associated with the primary data center site.

Which WAN Clarity report approach is most effective for this use case?

  • A Traffic Distribution: Top Applications report, when viewed in the context of the primary data center site, to list applications by their consumption directly related to that site’s traffic.
  • B Application Performance report, globally aggregated across all sites, to see which applications have the highest overall bandwidth usage, then correlate these with known data center services
  • C Hotspots: Undefined Domains report, specifically filtered for the data center site, to identify high-bandwidth FQDNs that might represent applications hosted in the data center
  • D Utilization Quadrant report, focusing on the WAN circuits directly connected to the data center, to infer high application bandwidth from periods of high circuit use.
Explanation

The Traffic Distribution: Top Applications report provides visibility into application traffic flowing to and from data centers, including the top ingress and egress applications by volume. Viewing the data for the primary data center directly identifies the applications consuming traffic associated with that site.
