There's a 23800 appliance with quad NIC in slot 5. What would be the name of port 3 on this NIC?

The correct answer is B. ethsBP5-03. Option B (ethsBP5-03) is correct because the Palo Alto 23800 NIC port naming convention follows the format ethsBP[slot]-[port] - the slot number comes first, followed by a hyphen and the zero-padded port number. Slot 5, port 3 therefore becomes ethsBP5-03. Why the distractors…

Explanation

Option B (ethsBP5-03) is correct because the Palo Alto 23800 NIC port naming convention follows the format ethsBP[slot]-[port] - the slot number comes first, followed by a hyphen and the zero-padded port number. Slot 5, port 3 therefore becomes ethsBP5-03.

Why the distractors fail:

A (ethBP3-05) drops the lowercase s from eths and reverses the slot/port order.
C (ethsBP3-05) has the correct prefix but reverses the numbers - 3-05 reads as slot 3, port 5, not slot 5, port 3.
D (ethsBP-05) omits the port number entirely and only references the slot.

Memory tip: Think "Slot before Port, pad with zero" - the s in eths reminds you the slot index is the first number, and ports always use two digits (03, not 3).
