Palo Alto NGFW lab 26 of 30

Capstone: bring the Halifax depot live

Everything together, from a requirements brief instead of steps: interfaces and routing, NAT for users and a published server, App-ID policy with a user-based rule, file blocking and URL filtering in a profile group, User-ID from the API, zone protection on the internet edge and syslog forwarding, verified by an automated acceptance test.

Run this lab

It needs Lite: its 4 nodes are set to 5 vCPU and 7,680 MB in total. That fits the free demo too.

The scenario

Calder's new Halifax depot opens on Monday. Its firewall arrives as Leeds's did in lab 01: management is configured, the data plane is factory default. You have the requirements and two hours. There are no step-by-step instructions this time; use what you've learned. The Check your work list is the acceptance test the depot manager will run.

What you’ll practise

  • Plan and build a complete small-site firewall configuration from requirements
  • Combine routing, NAT, App-ID, User-ID, Content-ID, zone protection and logging correctly
  • Choose rule order, zones and services that meet every requirement and nothing more
  • Prove the build against an acceptance test

The Lab Tasks pane has the scenario, the tasks, the checks to run, hints and the full solution.

How to open this lab

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder Palo Alto NGFW PAN-OS 11 guided labs.

  3. Open 26 - Capstone - bring the Halifax depot live and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the scenario and the steps.

The lab is read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change it, rebuild it in your own folder.
