Palo Alto Networks PSE-StrataDC Exam - Topic 7 Question 88 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's PSE-StrataDC exam
Question #: 88
Topic #: 7
[All PSE-StrataDC Questions]

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?

D could work too, proxy ARP is a neat trick for this.

Option A sounds right, using Virtual Wire mode is a solid choice.

I disagree, editing IPs is not an option here, so B is out.

Surprised that C suggests sending VLAN to hardware, seems complicated!

I vaguely recall something about proxy ARP, but I'm not entirely clear on how that would help in this scenario without changing the IPs.

I feel like editing the IP addresses is definitely not the right answer since the question specifically says not to do that.

I think I practiced a question similar to this where we had to use a VM-Series firewall to separate traffic. Creating a new virtual switch sounds familiar.

I remember something about using virtual switches and how they can help with segmentation, but I'm not sure if Virtual Wire mode is the right approach here.

The proxy ARP option seems interesting, but I'm not sure if that would give me the level of control I need for the more secure group. I think I'll focus on the virtual switch approach.

I'm not too familiar with the VM-Series firewall, so I'll need to do a quick review of how that works before the exam. But this seems like a good approach overall.

Okay, I think I've got it. Creating a new virtual switch and using the VM-Series firewall in Virtual Wire mode sounds like the way to go here. That way I can separate the groups without touching the existing network config.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the requirement to not edit the IP addresses or default gateways. That seems to rule out a few of the options.
