Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 153

How is an address object of type IP range correctly defined?

Answer options

• A. 192.168.40.1-192.168.40.255
• B. 192.168.40.1-255
• C. 192.168.40.1, 192.168.40.255
• D. 192.168.40.1/24

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, specifies a full range of IP addresses from 192.168.40.1 to 192.168.40.255. Option B is incorrect because it does not specify the second octet, making it ambiguous. Option C lists individual addresses instead of defining a range, while option D uses CIDR notation, which is not the same as an IP range format.
