Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 422

What is the PAN-OS NPTv6 feature based on RFC 6296 used for?

Answer options

• A. Application port number translation
• B. IPv6-to-IPv6 network prefix translation
• C. Stateful translation to provide better security
• D. IPv6-to-IPv6 host portion translation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as NPTv6 specifically facilitates IPv6-to-IPv6 network prefix translation, allowing for seamless address changes in IPv6 networks. Options A, C, and D refer to different types of translation or security features that do not align with the specific function of NPTv6 as described in RFC 6296.
