Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – SASE — Question 22

In an SD-WAN deployment, what allows customers to modify resources in an automated fashion instead of logging on to a central controller or using command-line interface (CLI) to manage all their configurations?

Answer options

• A. dynamic user group (DUG)
• B. DNS server
• C. application programming interface (API)
• D. WildFire

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an application programming interface (API) allows automated interactions with the system for modifying resources. Options A (dynamic user group) and B (DNS server) do not provide the necessary functionality for automation in configuration management. Option D (WildFire) is a security service that does not pertain to SD-WAN resource management.
