Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 367

A network security manager is asked to save a configuration to be used after a firewall reboot.

When the configuration is ready, how should it be saved so that the changes are not lost?

Answer options

• A. Save named configuration snapshot.
• B. Load named configuration snapshot.
• C. Revert to last saved configuration.
• D. Save candidate configuration.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as saving a named configuration snapshot ensures that the current changes are stored and will persist after a reboot. Options B and C are not applicable because they either load a previous configuration or revert changes, which do not save the current configuration. Option D is also incorrect because saving the candidate configuration does not guarantee it will be retained after a reboot unless it is explicitly saved as a named snapshot.
