Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 614

An engineer was tasked to simplify configuration of multiple firewalls with a specific set of configurations shared across all devices.
Which two advantages would be gained by using multiple templates in a stack? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. standardizes log-forwarding profiles for security policies across all stacks
• B. defines a common standard template configuration for firewalls
• C. inherits address-objects from the templates
• D. standardizes server profiles and authentication configuration across all stacks

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answer B indicates that a common standard template configuration simplifies management and ensures consistency across firewalls. Option D also highlights the benefit of standardizing server profiles and authentication, which is crucial for maintaining security and operational efficiency. Options A and C, while beneficial, do not directly address the simplification of configurations across multiple devices.
