Which plane on a Palo Alto Networks Firewall provides configuration, logging, and reporting functions on a separate processor?. management. network processing. data. security processing. A security administrator has configured App-ID updates to be automatically downloaded and installed. The company is currently using an application identified by App-ID as SuperApp_base.
