You want to configure an address book entry that matches all IP addresses within the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet except for 192.168.10.50. How can this be accomplished in Junos OS address configuration?

Trap 1: Create an address set containing 192.168.10.0/24 and negate…

Policy match negation is not the standard way to handle address book exclusions.

Trap 2: Exclusions are not supported in Junos address books; you must use…

Exclusions are fully supported via the CLI keyword 'exclude'.

Trap 3: Create two separate subnets: 192.168.10.0/25 and 192.168.10.128/25.

Splitting subnets manually is unnecessary because Junos address books natively support exclusion statements.

A
Create an address set containing 192.168.10.0/24 and negate 192.168.10.50 using policy match negation.
Why wrong: Policy match negation is not the standard way to handle address book exclusions.
B
Exclusions are not supported in Junos address books; you must use separate address objects.
Why wrong: Exclusions are fully supported via the CLI keyword 'exclude'.
C
Create two separate subnets: 192.168.10.0/25 and 192.168.10.128/25.
Why wrong: Splitting subnets manually is unnecessary because Junos address books natively support exclusion statements.
D
Use the 'exclude' statement within the address book configuration for that specific prefix.
Junos allows excluding specific IP addresses or ranges from a defined address prefix.
