Palo Alto Networks Exam PSE-StrataDC Topic 1 Question 54 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's PSE-StrataDC exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 1

A customer in a non-NSX VMware environment wants to add a VM-Series firewall and to partition an existing group of VMs in the same subnet into two groups. One group needs no additional security, but the second group requires substantially more security.

How can this partition be accomplished without editing the IP addresses or the default gateways of any of the guest VMs?

ACreate a new virtual switch and use the VM-Series firewall to separate virtual switches using Virtual Wire mode Then move the guests that require more security into the new virtual switch

BEdit the IP address of all of the affected VMs

CSend the VLAN out of the virtual environment into a hardware Palo Alto Networks firewall in Layer 3 mode. Use the same IP address as the old default gateway, then delete the old default gateway

DCreate a Layer 3 interface in the same subnet as the VMs and configure proxy ARP

Option B: 'Edit the IP address of all the affected VMs' - sounds like a job for the 'Copy and Paste' master!

Aha! Proxy ARP, that's an interesting idea. I like the simplicity of that approach.

Sending the VLAN out to a hardware firewall? Hmm, that could work, but it might add some latency and complexity to the setup.

Editing the IP addresses of all the VMs? That's way too much work and could easily introduce errors. Next!

Option A looks good, but I'm not sure if creating a new virtual switch is the best solution. Wouldn't that require reconfiguring the guest VMs and potentially cause some downtime?
