Palo Alto Networks Network Security Analyst Sample Questions:
A company wants to ensure that its internal web server is only accessible from the internet on port 443, but the server is actually listening on port 8443. Which NAT configuration should be used?
- A. Bi-directional NAT with Dynamic IP and Port.
- B. Source NAT with Static IP translation.
- C. Hide NAT with Overload.
- D. Destination NAT with Port Translation.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️

What is the function of a "Service" object in a Palo Alto Networks firewall configuration?
- A. To specify the URL categories to be blocked.
- B. To define the Layer 4 protocol (TCP/UDP) and port numbers.
- C. To define the Layer 7 App-ID signatures.
- D. To set the QoS priority for specific traffic.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️

A company uses a load balancer with a single public IP address to distribute inbound traffic to multiple internal servers running a custom application on the non-standard port 8443.
For example, traffic destined to the load balancer IP address 203.0.113.50:8443 needs to be forwarded to 10.20.30.40:9443. The load balancer directs traffic to internal hosts based on the destination port. The company requires the NAT policy to support precise port translation to ensure proper server load balancing and application availability.
Which Destination NAT configuration should be implemented?
- A. Configure a static NAT rule that maps the public IP address and port 8443 to the corresponding internal IP address and port 9443.
- B. Configure a static NAT rule with source translation enabled to translate the public and private IP addresses, leaving port translation unchanged.
- C. Configure Dynamic IP and Port (DIPP) NAT rule to automatically handle port translation, and translate the destination IP address.
- D. Configure a No NAT rule, because the load balancer dynamically handles the port 8443 to 9443 translation.

What is the expected behavior of an NGFW for handling traffic that does not match any of the SD-WAN rules in the policy?
- A. It will send the traffic using an implied SD-WAN round-robin rule.
- B. It will drop the traffic using an implied SD-WAN default deny rule.
- C. It will send the traffic out the first interface listed in the SD-WAN interface profile.
- D. It will not use SD-WAN but will fall back to the standard routing table to determine how to handle the traffic.

- D. ACC (Application Command Center)
