What is the purpose of an Interface Management Profile?
Defining firewall management services accessible through the Layer 3 interface
Why are Security policy rules necessary for management traffic in security zones?
To allow specific traffic and prevent unauthorized access

Participates in Layer 3 routing
Which dynamic routing protocols are supported on the firewall?
BGP version 4, OSPF versions 2 and 3, and RIP version 2
How does the virtual router determine the best route for a packet?
Obtains it from the IP routing information base (RIB)
What is used by the firewall to reach other devices on the same IP subnet?
Ethernet switching
Which protocol is used for multicast routing on the firewall?
Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM)
How can path monitoring be used in configuring a firewall?
To remove static route table entries during path failure upstream
Which tab in the web interface is used to assign granular privileges to a Role-Based Profile?
Command Line
What type of access does the 'superuser' privilege offer on the firewall?
Full access except for defining new accounts
What type of access does the 'superreader' privilege provide on the firewall?
Read-only access to all options
When are users authenticated on the firewall?
Both when connecting to services and accessing network resources
Is it possible to customize role-based privileges on the Command Line tab?
No, all privileges are predefined
What permissions are represented by the tabs in the web interface for assigning privileges to Role-Based Profiles?
Web UI, XML API, Command Line, REST API
What is the purpose of using the PAN-OS XML API in relation to login events?
To capture login events and send them to the firewall
How is the PAN-OS XML API implemented?
Using HTTP/HTTPS requests and responses
What is the default interface used by the firewall to access external services?
Management (MGT) interface
What is an alternative to using the MGT interface for accessing external services?
Configuring a data port as a regular interface
What is the path from the interface to the service on a server known as?
Service route
Where can you configure service routes on a firewall?
Device > Setup > Services > Service Route Configuration
What is the purpose of Source NAT?
Translate the private address and make the traffic routable across the internet.
What does Static IP in Source NAT do?
Changes the source IP address while leaving the source port unchanged.
When using Dynamic IP NAT policies, what can be specified as the translation address pool?
Multiple IP addresses within a subnet
In what scenario would you utilize DIPP in Source NAT?
To translate multiple clients using different public IP addresses.
When an egress interface has a dynamically assigned IP address, what should be specified as the translated address in Source NAT?
The interface itself
What happens if a source address pool is larger than the translated address pool in Source NAT?
New IP addresses seeking translation are blocked.
Study Notes
Source NAT
- Translates private addresses to make traffic routable across the internet
- Offers different options for setting the size and nature of the translated source address pool
Source NAT Types
- Static IP: Changes the source IP address, leaving the source port unchanged
- Dynamic IP: Translates private source addresses to the next available address in the specified address range
- DIPP (Dynamic IP and Port): Multiple clients can use the same public IP address with different source port numbers
Service Routes
- Path from the interface to the service on a server is known as a service route
- Configured using Device > Setup > Services > Service Route Configuration
- Allows access to external services through an in-band port
Role-Based Profiles
- Define sets of custom privileges for administrative user accounts on the firewall
- Include four types of privileges: Web UI, XML API, Command Line, and REST API
- Role-based privileges on the Command Line tab are predefined and cannot be customized
User Authentication
- Firewall authenticates users in two scenarios: administrative access and access to network resources
Layer 3 Deployment
- Enables routing traffic between multiple Layer 3 interfaces
- Requires an IP address assignment to each Layer 3 interface
- Supports features like App-ID, Content-ID, User-ID, SSL decryption, NAT, and QoS
Interface Management Profile
- Defines the type of firewall management services accessible through the Layer 3 interface
- Protects the firewall from unauthorized access by defining permitted protocols, services, and IP addresses
Virtual Router
- Participates in Layer 3 routing to obtain routes to other subnets
- Supports dynamic routing protocols: BGPv4, OSPFv2 and v3, RIPv2, and multicast protocols PIM-SM and PIM-SSM
- Uses virtual routers to populate the IP routing information base (RIB) and forwarding information base (FIB)
Static Route Path Monitoring
- Allows the firewall to remove static route table entries when a path failure occurs upstream from the firewall
