Palo Alto Networks SSE Engineer — Question 37

A company has four branch offices between Canada Central and Canada East which use the same IPSec termination node and have QoS configured with customized bandwidth per site. An engineer wants to onboard a new branch office on the same IPSec termination node.
What is the QoS behavior for the new branch office?

Answer options

• A. Automatically distributed to 25% for each site
• B. Unallocated until manually assigned
• C. Automatically distributed to 20% for each site
• D. Cannot be added to existing QoS configuration

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the new branch office will not have any automatic QoS allocation until it is specifically assigned bandwidth. The other options incorrectly suggest automatic distribution or limitations that do not apply in this context.
