Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 607

An engineer is troubleshooting a traffic-routing issue.
What is the correct packet-flow sequence?

Answer options

• A. PBF > Static route > Security policy enforcement
• B. BGP < PBF > NAT
• C. PBF > Zone Protection Profiles > Packet Buffer Protection
• D. NAT > Security policy enforcement > OSPF

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, outlines the proper order in which packets are processed: first by Policy-Based Forwarding (PBF), then by static routing, and finally through security policy enforcement. The other options do not reflect the correct sequence of operations involved in traffic routing, either introducing incorrect elements or misplacing the order.
