Rule, QoS Rule, and Class:
Notice c2s (Client to Server) and s2c (Server to Client) in Flow 1 and Flow 2:

These flows provide information about both the request and response traffic.
8. You can end an active session by clicking the X icon at the far right of a session row:
12.3 Explore App-Scope

With the App-Scope reports, you can quickly see if any behavior is unusual or unexpected,
which helps identify problematic behavior. Each report provides a dynamic, user-customizable
window into the network. Long-term trends are difficult to represent in a lab environment.
However, knowing where to look is key to finding potential issues.
1. Select Monitor > App Scope > Summary.

The Summary report displays charts for the top five gainers, losers, and bandwidth-
consuming applications, application categories, users, and sources.
2. Select Monitor > App Scope > Change Monitor.
The Change Monitor report displays changes over a specified time period. For example,
the following figure displays the top applications that gained in use over the last hour as
compared with the last 24-hour period. The top applications are determined by session
count and are sorted by percentage.

3. The type of information displayed can be controlled at the top. The displayed Graph can
be exported as a PDF or PNG:
4. The time period also can be changed at the bottom:
5. Select Monitor > App Scope > Threat Monitor.

The Threat Monitor report displays a count of the top threats over the selected time
period. By default, the figure shows the top 10 threat types for the past six hours.
6. The type of threat also can be filtered at the top:
7. The time period can be changed to the Last 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30
days.
8. Select Monitor > App Scope > Threat Map.
The Threat Map report shows a geographical view of threats, including severity.
9. Click Last 30 Days:
10. Click Malaysia:
The ACC opens with a global filter referencing Malaysia (MY):

11. Click to clear the Global Filter.
12. Select Monitor > App Scope > Network Monitor.
The Network Monitor report displays the bandwidth dedicated to different network
functions over the specified period of time. Each network function is color-coded, as
indicated in the legend below the chart. For example, the following diagram shows
application bandwidth for the past six hours based on session information.
13. Click the icon to display the information by Session Count and not Bytes:
Note: As is standard in all App-Scope graph items, you can click an application color,
which switches your view in the WebUI to the ACC tab.
14. Select Monitor > App Scope > Traffic Map.

The Traffic Map report shows a geographical view of traffic flows according to sessions
or flows:
12.4 Explore the ACC

The ACC is an analytical tool that provides actionable intelligence about the activity within your
network. The ACC uses the firewall logs to graphically depict traffic trends on your network.
1. Click the ACC tab.

2. Click the Time drop-down list and select Last 7 Days:
3. Explore the information available on the Network Activity tab. This tab displays an
overview of traffic and user activity on your network. It focuses on the top applications
being used; the top users who generate traffic with detailed information about the bytes,
content, threats, or URLs accessed by the user; and the most used security rules against
which traffic matches occur.

Notice that in every pane you can display data by bytes, sessions, threats, content, URLs, and
users:
4. Select the users option.
Notice how the application use seems more consistent across all colors versus bytes:
This information indicates that one application does not supersede any other application in
overall use by users.
5. Select threats in the Application Usage pane:

Given the displayed information you can see that web-browsing is the primary source of
threats in this environment.
6. Focus your attention on the User Activity pane. Which user consumed the most
bandwidth in the past seven days?
From the graph in the example, you can see that Jamie has consumed the most
bandwidth. Your user might be different.
7. Focus your attention on the bottom-right Rule Usage pane.
8. Select sessions. Which Security policy rule has been used the most?

From the displayed information, you can see that the most active rule based on session
count is egress-outside.
9. Click the Threat Activity tab:
This tab displays an overview of the threats on the network. It focuses on the top threats:
vulnerabilities, spyware, viruses, hosts visiting malicious domains or URLs, top WildFire
submissions by file type and application, and applications that use non-standard ports:

Notice that there are informational entries that might not be useful.
10. Create a global filter for only medium and critical severities:
Notice that the graph updates to display only critical and medium severities.
11. Scroll down to the bottom-right and notice the Rules Allowing Apps On Non Standard
Ports pane.
This pane is good for identifying rules that need to enforce the application-default service
setting.
12.5 Investigate Traffic

1. In the WebUI select Monitor > Logs > Threat.
2. Type the filter (severity neq informational ) into the log filter text box and
press Enter.
3. Locate the first entry referencing locky and notice that the user sally is associated with it:

5. Ensure that the Time drop-down list is Last 7 Days and the Network Activity tab is
selected:
6. Move to the User Activity pane.

7. Use the left-arrow to promote sally to a Global Filter:
8. Ensure that sally was promoted to a Global Filter:
Notice that all window panes have updated to show only information based on sally:

From the displayed information, you can see that sally is associated only with smtp
traffic, which could indicate a possible infection and lateral movement.
9. Scroll down and locate the Destination Regions pane.
Notice that this is an internal network, which could indicate that sally is using corporate
e-mail and not an external source or that there might be a rogue SMTP relay.
10. Scroll down to the Rule Usage pane. Notice that only one rule allowed this traffic. If this
were a production environment, inspection should be done to ensure that this rule is
operating effectively. For example, should the rule allow SMTP? If not, is this a rogue
SMTP relay?
11. Scroll to the top-left Application Usage pane.

12. Click the icon and select Traffic Log:
Notice that the WebUI switched views to the Traffic log with a predefined filter.
13. Select the icon. Notice at the bottom you can see the associated threat entries:

15. Click the Jump to Logs icon and select the Unified Log:
Notice that you now see both Traffic and Threat logs in one unified display, which can
help with correlation.

4. Click OK to close the Setup configuration window.

5. Click the icon of the Active/Passive Settings panel:
6. Select the Auto radio button. When Auto is selected, the links that have physical
connectivity remain physically up but in a disabled state. They do not participate in ARP
or packet forwarding. This configuration helps reduce convergence times during failover
because no time is required to activate the links. To avoid network loops, do not select
this option if the firewall has any Layer 2 interfaces configured.
7. Click OK to close the Active/Passive Settings configuration window.

8. Click the icon of the Election Settings panel to configure failover behavior:
Parameter Value

enabled on both firewalls in the pair.)
Preemptive
Enables the higher priority firewall to resume active operation

after recovering from a failure. This parameter must be
enabled on both firewalls but is not always a recommended
practice.
Heartbeat Backup
Uses the management ports on the HA firewalls to provide a

backup path for heartbeat and hello messages
9. Click OK to close the Election Settings configuration window.

10. Click the icon of the Control Link (HA1) panel to configure the HA1 link. The
firewalls in an HA pair use HA links to synchronize data and maintain state information:
Parameter Value

9. Click OK to close the HA Path Group Virtual Router configuration window.

10. all changes.

13.5 Observe the HA Widget
1. In the WebUI click the Dashboard tab and view the High Availability status widget for
the firewall. Active-passive mode should be enabled and the local firewall should be
active (green). However, because there is no peer firewall, the status of most monitored
items is unknown (yellow). Because HA1 has no peer, its state is down (red):
2. If a peer was configured and was operating in passive mode, the High Availability widget
on the Dashboard would appear as follows. In order to avoid overwriting the wrong
firewall configuration, the firewalls are not automatically synchronized. You must
manually synchronize a firewall to the firewall with the “valid” configuration by clicking
Sync to peer.

Stop. This is the end of the Active/Passive High Availability lab.

14. Lab: Capstone
This comprehensive lab is meant to provide you with additional hands-on firewall experience
and to enable you to test your new knowledge and skills. You can to refer to your student guide
and previous lab exercises.
In this scenario you are a network administrator and recently received a new Palo Alto Networks
VM-Series firewall. The firewall’s management IP address is 192.168.1.254. You can log in with
the default username and password. You also have been given permission to use your own
naming conventions for firewall objects such as Security zones, Security Profiles, Address
Groups, and Tags.
You are being asked to meet multiple configuration objectives. These objectives are listed in the
lab exercise sections that follow.

Reset your lab environment before you begin to work through the scenario.


4. Click Close.
5. all changes.
14.1 Configure Interfaces and Zones

Complete the following objectives:
 Configure three firewall interfaces using the following values:
• Ethernet 1/1: 203.0.113.20/24 - Layer 3: Public network facing interface
• Ethernet 1/2: 192.168.1.1/24 - Layer 3: Internal network facing interface
• Ethernet 1/3: 192.168.50.1/24 – Layer 3: DMX network facing interface
 Create Security zones for each network area of interest: DMZ, internal, and public. You
can name these zones whatever you like.
 Create a virtual router for all configured firewall interfaces.
 Create and assign an Interface Management Profile that enables 192.168.1.1 to respond to
ping requests.
 Create and assign unique tags to important zones.
You can consider this objective complete when the following tests are successful:
 Your internal host can ping 192.168.1.1
 From the firewall CLI the following commands are successful:
• ping source 203.0.113.20 host 203.0.113.1
• ping source 203.0.113.20 host 8.8.8.8
• ping source 192.168.1.1 host 192.168.1.10
• ping source 192.168.50.1 host 192.168.50.10
14.2 Configure Security and NAT Policy Rules

Create or modify the Security and NAT policy rules to address the following objectives:
Note: Optional tags can be helpful for identifying important rules.
 IP addresses 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 require access to the internet.
 A separate Security policy rule is required that allows the 192.168.1.0/24 network to
access the internet.
 Only the DMZ host 192.168.50.10 requires access to the internet.
 Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit applications must be blocked for users on the
192.168.1.0/24 network.

 The URL categories web-advertisements, phishing, malware, and unknown must be
blocked by a Security policy rule match criterion.
 Internal hosts 192.168.1.20 and 192.168.1.254 need to access the DMZ host for the
following applications: SSH, SSL, web-browsing, FTP, and ping. Access must be limited
to the applications’ default ports.
 Traffic matching the interzone default Security policy rule must log all traffic at session
end.
 The internal host can ping 8.8.8.8 and google.com.
 The internal host cannot access twitter.com, youtube.com, reddit.com, and 2600.org.
 The internal host can access http://192.168.50.10/block-list.txt.
 The internal host can use FTP to access the DMZ host at 192.168.50.10 using the login
name lab-user and the password paloalto.
 The internal host can use SSH to access the DMZ host at 192.168.1.20 using the login
name lab-user and the password paloalto.
 The DMZ host can ping 8.8.8.8 and google.com.
14.3 Create and Apply Security Profiles

Create Security Profile Groups and apply them to the applicable Security policy rules to meet the
following objectives:
 A three-tiered URL filtering scheme is required:
• Tier 1: Allow access to only URL categories government, financial-services,
reference-and-research, and search-engines
• Tier 2: Allow access to only the URL category online-storage-and-backup
• Tier 3: Allow access to all URL categories
 The Tier 3 URL filtering must apply to the internal host.
 The Tier 2 URL filtering must apply to the DMZ host.
 The Tier 1 URL filtering must apply to the network 192.168.1.0/24.
 Note: The Security policy rule specifically matching 192.168.1.20 must be evaluated
before the entire network segment.
 The Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit applications must be blocked for everyone.
 All Security policy rules allowing internet access must leverage Antivirus, Anti-Spyware,
and Vulnerability Protection Profiles.
 The firewall must reset both the client and server when a virus is detected in HTTP
traffic.
 The firewall must reset both the client and server when medium-, high-, or critical-level
spyware is detected.

 The Anti-Spyware Security Profile must use the DNS Sinkhole feature for Palo Alto
Networks DNS Signatures and consult a custom External Dynamic List that references
http://192.168.50.10/dns-sinkhole.txt.
 The dns-sinkhole.txt file must contain the domain name phproxy.org.
 The firewall must reset both the client and server when high or critical level
vulnerabilities are detected.
 WildFire analysis must be enabled on all Security policy rules that allow internet access.
 The File Blocking feature must block PE file types and any multi-level-encoded files for
access between the internet and the 192.168.1.0/24 network segment.
 Three URL Filtering configurations have been created and applied to the appropriate
Security policy rule(s).
 The DMZ host can ping box.net.
 The internal host can access box.net.
 The internal host cannot download an Eicar test virus using HTTP.
 A WildFire test file gets reported to the WildFire cloud when downloaded to the internal
host.
 A DNS request to phproxy.org initiated by an nslookup command on the internal host
results in a sinkhole event recorded in the Threat log.
14.4 GlobalProtect
Configure GlobalProtect to meet the requirements listed in the following objectives:
 User access is provided through an external gateway.
 The GlobalProtect Portal and external gateway can authenticate users using either LDAP
or a local user group configured on the firewall.
 The external gateway provides an IP address pool in the range 172.16.5.200 to
172.16.5.250.
 The Tunnel interface must be assigned to a new and separate Security zone.
 A Security policy rule must allow internet access for hosts using the external gateway IP
pool.
 The external gateway requires the use of IPsec.
