Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 384

After making multiple changes to the candidate configuration of a firewall, the administrator would like to start over with a candidate configuration that matches the running configuration.
Which command in Device > Setup > Operations would provide the most operationally efficient way to accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Revert to running configuration
• B. Load named configuration snapshot
• C. Revert to last saved configuration
• D. Import named config snapshot

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, 'Revert to running configuration', as it directly resets the candidate configuration to match the current running configuration. Options B and D involve loading or importing snapshots that may not reflect the running state, while option C would revert to a previously saved state, which is not necessarily the same as the current running configuration.
