PCNSA Managing Objects Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. debug log message: 'rule 'Allow-Web', source zone 'trust', destination zone 'untrust', source user 'any', source address '10.0.0.0/8', destination address 'any', application 'web-browsing', service 'service-http', action 'allow'.'
Based on the log excerpt, which object is used for the destination address?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the destination address object with other policy components like zones or services, because the log excerpt may show multiple fields, but the question specifically targets the address object used for the destination.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Address 'any'
The log excerpt shows the destination address field is set to 'any', which is a predefined address object in Palo Alto Networks firewalls that matches any IP address. Since the question asks for the object used for the destination address, 'Address any' is the correct answer because it directly corresponds to the destination address object in the log entry.
