Question #: 166
Topic #: 1

A bootstrap USB flash drive has been prepared using a Windows workstation to load the initial configuration of a firewall that was previously being used in a lab.
The USB flash drive was formatted using file system FAT32 and the initial configuration is stored in a file named init-cfg.txt. The firewall is currently running PAN-
OS 10.0 and using a lab config. The contents of init-cfg.txt in the USB flash drive are as follows:

The USB flash drive has been inserted in the firewalls' USB port, and the firewall has been restarted using command: > request restart system
Upon restart, the firewall fails to begin the bootstrapping process. The failure is caused because:

A. The bootstrap.xml file is a required file, but it is missing
B. Firewall must be in factory default state or have all private data deleted for bootstrapping
C. The hostname is a required parameter, but it is missing in init-cfg.txt
D. The USB must be formatted using the ext3 file system. FAT32 is not supported

D: Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac operating systems are unable to read the bootstrap USB flash drive because the drive is formatted using an ext4 file system. You must install third-party software or use a Linux system to read the USB drive.
