Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 366

A systems administrator momentarily loses track of which is the test environment firewall and which is the production firewall. The administrator makes changes to the candidate configuration of the production firewall, but does not commit the changes. In addition the configuration was not saved prior to making the changes.

Which action will allow the administrator to undo the changes?

Answer options

• A. Revert to running configuration.
• B. Load named configuration snapshot, and choose the first item on the list.
• C. Revert to last saved configuration.
• D. Load configuration version, and choose the first item on the list.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as reverting to the running configuration will discard any unsaved changes made to the candidate configuration. Options B and D involve loading specific configurations, which are not applicable since the changes were not saved, and option C would revert to the last saved configuration, which may not remove the uncommitted changes.
