  1. Could the answer be ‘A’?

    Old port-based firewall/rules maybe that are not configured with Application Control/ID on the new Palo…..
    ‘No App Specified’ filter is valid I believe and would show all the old ‘port-based’ rules along with hits.

    Just a thought!

  2. You can check Applications seen
    on port-based rules over the past 7, 15, or 30 days, or over the rule’s lifetime (Anytime). For migrating rules, Anytime
    provides the most complete assessment of applications that matched the rule.

    D. Rule Usage Filter > Hit Count > Unused in 90 days — isnt a valid answer and Anytime isn’t an option so best answer is “B”

  3. Shouldn’t the answer be B.

    If you were to select Unused in 90 days and the Firewall was installed 60 day ago, wouldn’t nothing show up?
