Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 160

An administrator plans to deploy 15 firewalls to act as GlobalProtect gateways around the world. Panorama will manage the firewalls.
The firewalls will provide access to mobile users and act as edge locations to on-premises infrastructure. The administrator wants to scale the configuration out quickly and wants all of the firewalls to use the same template configuration.
Which two solutions can the administrator use to scale this configuration? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. virtual systems
• B. template stacks
• C. variables
• D. collector groups

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Using template stacks allows the administrator to apply a common configuration to multiple firewalls simultaneously, ensuring consistency. Variables can be used to customize specific settings within that template, making it easy to scale the configuration without having to adjust each firewall individually. The other options, while useful in certain contexts, do not specifically address the need for rapid and uniform configuration deployment across multiple devices.
