Explanation
To address the issue of excessive SSL traffic, the administrator should configure QoS on both the ingress and egress interfaces for the traffic flows. This will allow the administrator to control the bandwidth allocation and priority of different applications based on their QoS classes. The administrator should also define a QoS profile that specifies the traffic classes and their guaranteed bandwidth percentages. The QoS profile can then be applied to a QoS policy rule that matches the SSL traffic based on source and destination zones or other criteria. References: :

Explanation
To enable split-tunneling by access route, destination domain, and application, you need to configure a split tunnel based on the domain and application on your GlobalProtect gateway2. This allows you to specify which domains and applications are included or excluded from the VPN tunnel.

Explanation
The PAN-OS Integrated Agent is more efficient in terms of network resources since it filters logs, whereas the Windows-Based Agent sends all security logs to the firewall.

Explanation
The **IKE crypto profile** is used to set up the encryption and authentication algorithms used for the key exchange process in IKE Phase 1, and lifetime of the keys, which specifies how long the keys are valid. To invoke the profile, you must attach it to the IKE Gateway configuration. The **IPSec crypto profile** is invoked in IKE Phase 2. It specifies how the data is secured within the tunnel when Auto Key IKE is used to automatically generate keys for the IKE SAs.
