Exam NetSec-Analyst Topic 3 Question 97 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's NetSec-Analyst exam
Question #: 97
Topic #: 3

A large-scale deployment uses Panorama to manage hundreds of Palo Alto Networks firewalls. An External Dynamic List (EDL) for 'IP Address' type is centrally configured on Panorama, pointing to an internal threat intelligence server. Which of the following statements accurately describes the operational flow and considerations when this EDL is applied to Security Policy rules pushed from Panorama to the managed firewalls?

A. Panorama fetches the EDL content and pushes the entire list to each firewall during a policy commit. B. Each managed firewall independently fetches the EDL content directly from the threat intelligence server based on its configured refresh interval, and Panorama only distributes the EDL object definition. C. Only firewalls with Panorama's 'Threat Prevention' subscription can utilize EDLs configured on Panorama. D. EDLs configured on Panorama can only be used in Pre-Rulebase or Post-Rulebase policies, not in shared rulebases. E. If the threat intelligence server is unreachable, Panorama will cache the last known good list and push it to all firewalls.

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

This question tests the understanding of how Panorama manages dynamic content. Option B (Correct): Panorama manages the definition of the EDL (its name, type, source URL, refresh interval, etc.) and pushes this definition to managed firewalls. However, each individual firewall is responsible for fetching the actual content of the EDL directly from the configured source URL. This design distributes the load and ensures firewalls have the most up-to-date lists even if Panorama is temporarily unavailable. Option A is incorrect; Panorama does not typically fetch and push the content of EDLs. Option C is incorrect; EDL functionality is core and not tied to specific subscriptions like Threat Prevention. Option D is incorrect; EDLs can be used in any rulebase (shared, device-group, template). Option E is incorrect; Panorama does not cache EDL content for pushing to firewalls if the source is unreachable; the individual firewalls attempt to fetch and will log errors if they fail.
