16. A firewall has been assigned to a new template stack that contains both "Global" and "Local" templates in Panorama, and a successful commit and push has been performed. While validating the configuration on the local firewall, the engineer discovers that some settings are not being applied as intended.

The setting values from the "Global" template are applied to the firewall instead of the "Local" template that has different values for the same settings.

What should be done to ensure that the settings in the "Local" template are applied while maintaining settings from both templates?

Move the "Global" template above the "Local” template in the template stack.

Move the "Local" template above the "Global" template in the template stack.

Perform a commit and push with the "Force Template Values" option selected.

Override the values on the local firewall and apply the correct settings for each value.

17. A network administrator plans a Prisma Access deployment with three service connections, each with a BGP peering to a CPE. The administrator needs to minimize the BGP configuration and management overhead on on-prem network devices.

What should the administrator implement?

hot potato routing

summarized BGP routes before advertising

target service connection for traffic steering

default routing

18. A Panorama administrator configures a new zone and uses the zone in a new Security policy.

19. A bootstrap USB flash drive has been prepared using a Windows workstation to load the initial configuration of a Palo Alto Networks firewall that was previously being used in a lab. The USB flash drive was formatted using file system FAT32 and the initial configuration is stored in a file named init-cfg txt. The firewall is currently running PAN-OS 10.0 and using a lab config.

The contents of init-cfg.txi in the USB flash drive are as follows:

The USB flash drive has been inserted in the firewalls' USB port, and the firewall has been restarted using command:> request resort system

Upon restart, the firewall fails to begin the bootstrapping process.

The failure is caused because:

Firewall must be in factory default state or have all private data deleted for bootstrapping

The USB must be formatted using the ext3 file system, FAT32 is not supported

The hostname is a required parameter, but it is missing in init-cfg txt

The bootstrap.xml file is a required file but it is missing

The interface must be used for traffic to the required services.

You must use a static IP address.
