Question

Which two statements are correct for the out-of-box configuration for Palo Alto Networks NGFWs? (Choose two)

Options

  • AThe devices are pre-configured with a virtual wire pair out the first two interfaces.
  • BThe devices are licensed and ready for deployment.
  • CThe management interface has an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and allows SSH and HTTPS
  • DA default bidirectional rule is configured that allows Untrust zone traffic to go to the Trust zone.
  • EThe interfaces are pingable.

Explanation

By default, Palo Alto Networks NGFWs ship with two pre-configured settings: (A) ethernet1/1 and ethernet1/2 are paired in a Virtual Wire configuration, allowing traffic to pass through without any IP configuration; and (C) the management interface is pre-assigned 192.168.1.1/24 and permits SSH and HTTPS access for initial setup. The devices are NOT pre-licensed (B is false). The default security policy denies inter-zone traffic like Untrust-to-Trust - there is no permissive bidirectional rule (D is false). Data plane interfaces do not respond to ping by default (E is false).
