Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – SASE — Question 39

What are two benefits of installing hardware fail-to-wire port pairs on Instant-On Network (ION) devices? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. local area network (LAN) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and DHCP relay functionality
• B. control mode insertion without modification of existing network configuration
• C. network controller communication and monitoring
• D. ensures automatic failover when ION devices experience software or network related failure

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer D indicates that hardware fail-to-wire port pairs provide a mechanism for automatic failover, which is crucial during software or network failures, ensuring continuous network availability. Options A, B, and C do not directly relate to the failover capabilities provided by the fail-to-wire port pairs, focusing instead on DHCP functionality, network configuration, and monitoring, which are not specific benefits of the fail-to-wire feature.
