Palo Alto Networks NGFW Engineer — Question 37

How does a Palo Alto Networks NGFW respond when the preemptive hold time is set to 0 minutes during configuration of route monitoring?

Answer options

• A. It does not accept the configuration.
• B. It accepts the configuration but throws a warning message.
• C. It removes the static route because 0 is a NULL value.
• D. It reinstalls the route into the routing information base (RIB) as soon as the path comes up.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because setting the preemptive hold time to 0 means that the route will be reinstalled into the routing information base as soon as the path becomes available. Option A is incorrect as the configuration is accepted, and option B is not applicable since no warning is generated for this scenario. Option C is also wrong because a value of 0 does not equate to a NULL value concerning the removal of the static route.
