Q

A security administrator has configured App-ID updates to be automatically downloaded and installed. The company is currently using an application identified byApp-ID as SuperApp_base. On a content update notice, Palo Alto Networks is adding new app signatures labeled SuperApp_chat and SuperApp_download, which will be deployed in 30 days.
Based on the information, how is the SuperApp traffic affected after the 30 days have passed?

A. All traffic matching the SuperApp_chat, and SuperApp_download is denied because it no longer matches the SuperApp-base application
B. No impact because the apps were automatically downloaded and installed
C. No impact because the firewall automatically adds the rules to the App-ID interface
D. All traffic matching the SuperApp_base, SuperApp_chat, and SuperApp_download is denied until the security administrator approves the applications

A

A

Chat & Download is denied because it doesn’t match the base application.

B. Create a security-rule that allows traffic from zone USERS to OUTSIDE to allow traffic from any source IP-address to any destination IP-address for application SSH

C. In addition to option a, a custom-service-object called SERVICE-SSH-RETURN that contains source-port-TCP-22 should be created. A second security-rule is required that allows traffic from zone OUTSIDE to USERS for SERVICE-SSH-RETURN for any source-IP-address to any destination-Ip-address

D. In addition to option c, an additional rule from zone OUTSIDE to USERS for application SSH from any source-IP-address to any destination-IP-address is required to allow the return-traffic from the SSH-servers to reach the server-admin
