Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 600

An engineer wants to configure aggregate interfaces to increase bandwidth and redundancy between the firewall and switch.
Which statement is correct about the configuration of the interfaces assigned to an aggregated interface group?

Answer options

• A. They can have different hardware media such as the ability to mix fiber optic and copper.
• B. They can have a different interface type such as Layer 3 or Layer 2.
• C. They can have a different interface type from an aggregate interface group.
• D. They can have a different bandwidth.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because aggregate interfaces can indeed consist of different types of hardware media, such as mixing fiber optic with copper. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because interfaces in an aggregated group must have the same interface type and bandwidth to function correctly.
