Palo Alto Networks NGFW-Engineer Exam - Topic 3 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's NGFW-Engineer exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 3

Which zone type allows traffic between zones in different virtual systems (VSYS), without the traffic leaving the firewall?

AIsolated

BTransient

CExternal

DInternal

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The Transient zone type is used to allow traffic between zones in different virtual systems (VSYS) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall without the traffic leaving the firewall. It provides a way for virtual systems to communicate with each other by acting as a temporary or intermediary zone. Traffic can pass through the firewall between the virtual systems without requiring physical interfaces or leaving the device.

Wait, can traffic really stay inside the firewall?

I think "External" is definitely not the right choice since it usually refers to traffic going out of the firewall.

I feel like "Isolated" zones were mentioned in the context of keeping traffic separate, so that might not be it.

I remember discussing "Transient" zones, but I can't recall if they allow traffic between VSYS.

Yeah, the Transient zone sounds right to me. That's the one designed for that kind of inter-virtual system communication.

Okay, I think I've got it. The Transient zone is the one that allows cross-virtual system traffic without leaving the firewall. I'm going with that.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Isn't the Isolated zone the one that keeps traffic within a single virtual system? I'll need to double-check the definitions.
