Palo Alto Networks NGFW-Engineer Exam - Topic 3 Question 6 Discussion

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

Question #: 6
Topic #: 3

During an upgrade to the routing infrastructure in a customer environment, the network administrator wants to implement Advanced Routing Engine (ARE) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall.

Which firewall models support this configuration?

APA-5280, PA-7080, PA-3250, VM-Series

BPA-455, VM-Series, PA-1410, PA-5450

CPA-3260, PA-5410, PA-850, PA-460

DPA-7050, PA-1420, VM-Series, CN-Series

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Advanced Routing Engine (ARE) is supported on Palo Alto Networks firewalls that utilize the PAN-OS 11.0+ software and have the required hardware architecture. The supported models include PA-3200 Series, PA-5400 Series, PA-800 Series, and PA-400 Series. These models provide enhanced routing capabilities, including BGP, OSPF, and more complex routing policies.

PA-3260 and PA-5410 are part of the PA-3200 and PA-5400 Series, which are known to support ARE.

PA-850 and PA-460 are within the PA-800 and PA-400 Series, which also support ARE

Wait, are you sure about A? I thought PA-1410 was included.

I feel like the PA-7050 is a strong candidate, but I’m not entirely sure about the CN-Series. I need to double-check that.

I remember practicing a question about firewall models, and I feel like the VM-Series is a common option, but I can't recall the specifics.

I've got this! The question specifically mentions "Advanced Routing Engine", so I know I need to look for the most powerful and feature-rich Palo Alto firewall models. A, D, and maybe B seem like the best bets here.

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'm going to eliminate the choices that seem less likely, like the PA-455 and PA-1410, since those are smaller models. Then I'll focus on verifying the high-end options that are probably the correct answer.

Wait, I'm a little confused. I thought the PA-3250 was a lower-end model, but it's listed here. Maybe I'm misremembering the Palo Alto product line. I better re-read this question carefully.

Okay, let me see here. I know the PA-5280, PA-7080, and VM-Series are high-end Palo Alto firewalls, so those are probably good options. I'll mark that for now and double-check the other choices.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the firewall models listed and think about which ones are likely to support the Advanced Routing Engine feature.
