Question 265 - PCNSE discussion

Forwarding logs from firewalls only to Panorama and having Panorama forward logs to other external services is the best option for the administrator to reduce WAN traffic while maintaining support for all the existing monitoring/security platforms. This option minimizes the number of log forwarding destinations on each firewall and consolidates log forwarding on Panoram a. Panorama can forward logs to external destinations such as syslog servers, email servers, SNMP trap receivers, HTTP servers, or AutoFocus1. Option B is incorrect because configuring log compression and optimization features on all remote firewalls may reduce the size of log files but does not reduce the number of log forwarding destinations. Option C is incorrect because any configuration on an M-500 would not address the insufficient bandwidth concerns. An M-500 is a dedicated log collector that can store logs from multiple firewalls and Panorama appliances. However, it does not reduce the WAN traffic generated by log forwarding2. Option D is incorrect because forwarding logs from external sources to Panorama for correlation, and from Panorama send them to the NGFW does not reduce WAN traffic while maintaining support for all the existing monitoring/security platforms. This option would increase the WAN traffic by sending logs back and forth between Panorama and the NGFW1.
