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.

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.
