Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 109

What should an administrator consider when planning to revert Panorama to a pre-PAN-OS 8.1 version?

Answer options

• A. Panorama cannot be reverted to an earlier PAN-OS release if variables are used in templates or template stacks.
• B. An administrator must use the Expedition tool to adapt the configuration to the pre-PAN-OS 8.1 state.
• C. When Panorama is reverted to an earlier PAN-OS release, variables used in templates or template stacks will be removed automatically.
• D. Administrators need to manually update variable characters to those used in pre-PAN-OS 8.1.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because reverting Panorama with variables in templates or template stacks is not feasible. Option B is incorrect since the Expedition tool is not necessary for this purpose. Option C is false as the variables will not be removed automatically upon reverting, and option D is incorrect because manual adjustment of variable characters is not required in this context.
