Which benefit do policy rule UUlDs provide?
- A. The use of user IP mapping and groups in policies
- B. An audit trail across a policy's lifespan
- C. Cloning of policies between device-groups
- D. Functionality for scheduling policy actions
Answer: B
Explanation:
https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/policy/enumeration-of-rules-within-a-rulebase To keep track of rules within a rulebase, you can refer to the rule number, which changes depending on the order of a rule in the rulebase. The rule number determines the order in which the firewall applies the rule. The universally unique identifier (UUID) for a rule never changes even if you modify the rule, such as when you change the rule name. The UUID allows you to track the rule across rule bases even after you deleted the rule.

- A. Client Application Process
- B. URL Category
- C. Destination Domain

Explanation
The GlobalProtect Gateway supports three methods for split tunneling
* Access Route - You can define a list of IP addresses or subnets that are accessible through the VPN tunnel. All other traffic goes directly to the internet.
* Domain and Application - You can define a list of domains or applications that are accessible through the VPN tunnel. All other traffic goes directly to the internet. You can also use this method to exclude specific domains or applications from the VPN tunnel.
* Video Traffic - You can exclude video streaming traffic from the VPN tunnel based on predefined categories or custom URLs. This method reduces latency and jitter for video streaming applications.
