Three of the 70 questions in this pack

Question 1

Which metrics can be monitored at the individual Prisma SD-WAN ION device level to assess its health and operational performance?

  1. Device software version and interface bandwidth
  2. Device CPU, memory and disk use, interface bandwidth, and errors/discards
  3. Device VPN tunnels and controller reachability status
  4. Device application flow statistics, Autonomous Digital Experience Manager (ADEM) metrics, and site health score
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Device CPU, memory and disk use, interface bandwidth, and errors/discards

Individual ION device health monitoring encompasses system resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk), network interface metrics (bandwidth, errors, discards), and these are the standard operational performance indicators at the device level. Option A omits critical error/discard metrics; Option C relates to connectivity status rather than performance metrics; Option D includes site-level aggregates and application statistics that are not device-level monitoring.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Missing error and discard metrics which are essential for assessing interface health.
  • C. VPN tunnel and controller reachability are connectivity checks, not device performance health metrics.
  • D. Application flow statistics and site health scores are higher-level aggregates, not individual device-level metrics.

Question 2

Where is route leaking configured between VRFs?

  1. VRF definition
  2. BGP peer
  3. Site configuration
  4. VRF profile
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. VRF profile

Route leaking between VRFs is configured within the VRF profile, which allows traffic and routes to be selectively shared between different routing and forwarding instances while maintaining separation. VRF definitions establish the VRF itself; BGP peers handle routing protocol neighbors but not inter-VRF route leaking; site configuration is where VRFs are applied but not where leaking rules are defined.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. VRF definitions establish the VRF identity but do not configure the leaking mechanism.
  • B. BGP peers manage routing protocol relationships, not inter-VRF route leaking policies.
  • C. Site configuration applies VRFs to sites but does not define route leaking behavior between them.

Question 3

In which modes can a Prisma SD-WAN branch be deployed?

  1. Testing, Control, POV
  2. Production, Control, Disabled
  3. Disabled, Analytics, Control
  4. POV, Production, Analytics
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. POV, Production, Analytics

Prisma SD-WAN branches support three deployment modes: POV (Proof of Concept), Production, and Analytics. These modes govern how the branch operates and reports telemetry. Options A, B, and C mix incorrect mode names like Testing, Control, and Disabled that are not valid Prisma SD-WAN branch deployment modes.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Testing and Control are not valid branch deployment modes in Prisma SD-WAN.
  • B. Control and Disabled are not standard branch deployment mode options.
  • C. Disabled and Analytics are not the correct set; the three modes are POV, Production, and Analytics.

What makes the SD-WAN Engineer exam hard

SD-WAN Engineer is the Prisma SD-WAN exam, the CloudGenix product Palo Alto Networks folded into Prisma SASE, and it replaced the old PCSDWAN-era credential in the 2025 restructure. It reads like a professional services engagement from scoping to steady state, which is exactly the job it was written for, and the whole exam is app-defined SD-WAN with ION devices and a cloud controller rather than PAN-OS SD-WAN on a firewall.

Planning and Design and Deployment and Configuration are 24% each. Planning covers device selection, bandwidth planning, licensing tiers, assessing the existing architecture, data centre and DCI options, branch gateway configuration, HA and interconnectivity, and the five policy types: path, security, QoS, performance and NAT. Deployment covers site-specific settings, configuration templates for data centres and branches, tuning dynamic and static routing, and VRF segmentation. Troubleshooting at 20% goes from site-to-site connectivity, routing and forwarding and application performance to policy problems, data analysis with the co-pilot, and using analytics to optimise configuration. Operations at 18% is device statistics, controller incidents, alerts and audit logs, notifications, WAN Clarity reports, real-time monitoring tools and SASE event handling. Unified SASE at 14% is the integration domain: Prisma SD-WAN with Prisma Access and security policy, ADEM for application performance, Device-ID for IoT, Cloud Identity Engine, and path and security policy by user or group.

About the exam

The Palo Alto Networks Certified SD-WAN Engineer is a Specialist-level certification covering Prisma SD-WAN planning and design, deployment and configuration, operations and monitoring, Unified SASE integration, and troubleshooting. No formal prerequisites; Palo Alto Networks recommends the Prisma SD-WAN: Design and Operation course. Datasheet dated August 2025.
