Question

An engineer is deploying multiple firewalls with common configuration in Panorama. What are two benefits of using nested device groups? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AInherit all Security policy rules and objects
  • BInherit settings from the Shared group
  • CInherit IPSec crypto profiles
  • DInherit parent Security policy rules and objects

Explanation

In Panorama, nested device groups provide two key inheritance benefits: (1) All device groups (including nested ones) inherit settings from the Shared group, which sits at the top of the hierarchy; and (2) child device groups inherit Security policy rules and objects from their parent device groups, enabling hierarchical policy layering. Choice A is incorrect because child groups do not inherit ALL Security policy rules-only those from their direct parent, not from sibling or unrelated groups. Choice C is incorrect because IPSec crypto profiles are template-based constructs, not device-group objects.
