Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 43

Which type of firewall configuration contains in-progress configuration changes?

Answer options

• A. backup
• B. candidate
• C. running
• D. committed

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'B' because a candidate configuration is specifically used to hold modifications that have not yet been applied. The other options do not represent in-progress changes: 'A' refers to saved configurations, 'C' indicates the current active configuration, and 'D' implies configurations that have been successfully applied.
