During an upgrade to the routing infrastructure in a customer environment, the network administrator wants to implement Advanced Routing Engine (ARE)…

Palo Alto Networks documents list the only hardware platforms that can enable the Advanced Routing Engine (ARE): PA-3200, PA-5200, PA-5400, PA-5450, PA-400, PA-800, VM-Series and CN-Series firewalls.

Option C contains four models that fall wholly inside those supported families—PA-3260 (PA-3200 series), PA-5410 (PA-5400 series), PA-850 (PA-800 series) and PA-460 (PA-400 series)—so every model in the option is eligible for ARE. All other answer sets include at least one platform explicitly excluded from support, making them invalid.

A. PA-7080 belongs to the PA-7000 series, which documentation states is not supported for ARE.

B. “PA-455” and “PA-1410” are either non-existent or outside the listed PA-400/800/5400 families that support ARE.

D. PA-7050 (PA-7000 series) is not supported for ARE; therefore the whole set is invalid despite other valid models.
