A URL category object is the object that the administrator should create to use as a match condition for the security policy rule that allows access to www.paloaltonetworks.com while denying access to all other sites in the same category. A URL category object allows the administrator to define a custom list of URLs that belong to a specific category, such as Business and Economy. The administrator can then use this object in a security policy rule to allow or deny access to the URLs based on the category1. For example, the administrator can create a URL category object that contains www.paloaltonetworks.com and assign it to the Business and Economy category. Then, the administrator can create a security policy rule that allows access to this URL category object and denies access to the predefined Business and Economy category2. References: Create a Custom URL Category, Create a Security Policy Rule to Allow or Deny Access to a Custom URL Category, Certifications - Palo Alto Networks, Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PAN-OS 10.0) or [Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PAN-OS 10.0)].

A user can assign a tag group to a policy rule in the policy creation window by selecting the General tab. A tag group is a collection of tags that can be used to identify and filter policy rules based on different criteria, such as function, location, or priority. A user can create a tag group on Panorama and assign it to a policy rule to apply the same set of tags to multiple firewalls or device groups1. To assign a tag group to a policy rule, the user needs to:

Select the General tab in the policy creation window.

Click the Tag Group drop-down menu and select the tag group that the user wants to assign to the policy rule.

Click OK to save the changes. The policy rule will inherit the tags from the tag group and display them in the Tag column.

The IP Modulo session distribution method assigns sessions to dataplane processors (DPs) based on the modulo of the source and destination IP addresses. This method is suitable for environments that use NAT with a large number of translated IP addresses and ports. It ensures that sessions with the same source and destination IP addresses are processed by the same DP, regardless of the port numbers. This can improve performance and avoid out-of-order packets.
