PCNSA Managing Objects Practice Question

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.
config shared object address-group 'web-servers'
   type static
   member [ 'server1' 'server2' ]
end

How many address objects are members of the 'web-servers' address group?

⚠ Common exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often miscount the number of address objects by confusing individual IP addresses within a subnet object as separate members, rather than recognizing that a single subnet object (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24) counts as one member regardless of how many hosts it represents.

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

2

The 'web-servers' address group contains exactly two address objects: one for the web server's IP address (e.g., 10.0.0.10) and one for the web server's subnet (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24). In Palo Alto Networks firewalls, address groups aggregate static or dynamic address objects, and the count is determined by the number of member objects explicitly added, not by the number of IPs within a subnet. Option D is correct because the group has two members.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • 3

    Why it's wrong here

    There are two members, not three.

  • 1

    Why it's wrong here

    There are two members, not one.

  • 4

    Why it's wrong here

    There are two members, not four.

  • 2

    Why this is correct

    The exhibit clearly lists two members.

Visual reference

192.168.1.0 /24 256 addresses (254 usable) 192.168.1.0 /25 Subnet A 128 addr (126 usable) 192.168.1.128 /25 Subnet B 128 addr (126 usable) Borrowing 1 bit from host portion creates 2 subnets (/25)
