Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 132

How do you reset the hit count on a Security policy rule?

Answer options

• A. Select a Security policy rule, and then select Hit Count > Reset.
• B. Reboot the data-plane.
• C. First disable and then re-enable the rule.
• D. Type the CLI command reset hitcount <POLICY-NAME>.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it directly describes the method to reset the hit count through the interface. Option B is incorrect as rebooting the data-plane is not needed for resetting hit counts. Option C does not specifically address resetting the hit count and merely toggles the rule. Option D involves using a CLI command which is not the method described in the question.
