Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 369
How are service routes used in PAN-OS?
Answer options
- A. By the OSPF protocol, as part of Dijkstra's algorithm, to give access to the various services offered in the network
- B. To statically route subnets so they are joinable from, and have access to, the Palo Alto Networks external services
- C. For routing, because they are the shortest path selected by the BGP routing protocol
- D. To route management plane services through data interfaces rather than the management interface
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because service routes are specifically designed to route management traffic through data interfaces, optimizing performance. Options A, B, and C incorrectly describe the function of service routes, as they relate to other routing protocols and methods that do not pertain to the management of Palo Alto Networks devices.
