Question #: 168
Topic #: 1
[All PCNSE Questions]

A bootstrap USB flash drive has been prepared using a Linux workstation to load the initial configuration of a Palo Alto Networks firewall. The USB flash drive was formatted using file system ntfs and the initial configuration is stored in a file named init-cfg.txt.
The contents of init-cfg.txt 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 powered on. Upon boot, the firewall fails to begin the bootstrapping process. The failure is caused because:

  • A. the bootstrap.xml file is a required file, but it is missing
  • B. nit-cfg.txt is an incorrect filename, the correct filename should be init-cfg.xml
  • C. The USB must be formatted using the ext4 file system
  • D. There must be commas between the parameter names and their values instead of the equal symbols
  • E. The USB drive has been formatted with an unsupported file system

As per PA it will support FAT32 and ext3 so the correct ans is E ( Unsupported File System ) The USB flash drive that bootstraps a hardware-based Palo Alto Networks firewall must support one of the following: • File Allocation Table 32 (FAT32) • Third Extended File System (ext3)

File name should be init-cfg.txt (not xml) (B is incorrect) Config looks fine according to: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/firewall-administration/bootstrap-the-firewall/sample-init-cfgtxt-files (D is not correct) option A - looks stupid Supported file systems ext3 and FAT32, so it should be E https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/firewall-administration/bootstrap-the-firewall/usb-flash-drive-support

"Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac operating systems are unable to read the bootstrap USB flash drive because the drive is formatted using an ext4 file system. You must install third-party software or use a Linux system to read the USB drive." This is them confusing people. It only state that Windows and Mac are unable to read the USB.
