Palo Alto Networks Exam PSE-SWFW-Pro-24 Topic 3 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's PSE-SWFW-Pro-24 exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 3
[All PSE-SWFW-Pro-24 Questions]

What can a firewall use to automatically update Security policies with new IP address information for a virtual machine (VM) when it has moved from host-A to host-B because host-A is down or undergoing periodic maintenance?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

When a virtual machine moves between hosts and its IP address changes (or if it's assigned a new IP from a pool), traditional static security policies become ineffective. Dynamic Address Groups solve this problem.

A . Dynamic Address Groups: These groups automatically update their membership based on criteria such as tags, VM names, or other dynamic attributes. When a VM moves and its IP address changes, the Dynamic Address Group automatically updates its membership, ensuring that security policies remain effective without manual intervention. This is the correct solution for this scenario.

B . Dynamic User Groups: These groups are based on user identity and are used for user-based policy enforcement, not for tracking IP addresses of VMs.

C . Dynamic Host Groups: This is not a standard Palo Alto Networks term.

D . Dynamic IP Groups: While the concept sounds similar, the official Palo Alto Networks terminology is 'Dynamic Address Groups.' They achieve the functionality described in the question.

D) Dynamic IP Groups. That's the answer, unless your firewall is on a coffee break when the VM decides to move. Then you'll need a crystal ball to keep up.

A) Dynamic Address Groups. Seems like the most straightforward option, unless your VM has a penchant for teleportation.

I'm not sure, but Dynamic Host Groups could also be a possibility for updating IP address information.

C) Dynamic Host Groups. That's the way to go, unless your firewall has been possessed by a poltergeist. Then all bets are off.

D) Dynamic IP Groups. That's the perfect solution to automatically update the firewall's security policies. Anything else would be like trying to herd cats.

I think the firewall can use Dynamic Address Groups for automatic updates.

Dynamic Host Groups, of course! That's the most logical choice to handle a VM's IP address changes when it moves between hosts.

It's important for firewalls to have the ability to update policies automatically when a VM moves between hosts, Dynamic Host Groups make that possible.
