Description
Synopsis:
Setting address object failed on PA-3260 (v8.1.4.H2) while succeeded on PA-3000 (v8.1.2)
Exception:
vsys1 -> address has unexpected text.
Python package:
pan-python=0.13.0
pandevice=0.6.6
Code snippet (sample):
fw = pandevice.firewall.Firewall('10.0.0.1', 'username', 'password', port='443')
bulk_objects = []
ao = pandevice.objects.AddressObject(
name='test',
value='10.0.0.2/32',
type='ip-netmask')
bulk_objects.append(ao)
fw.add(ao)
bulk_objects[0].create_similar()
bulk_objects[0].apply_similar()

Research direction
Start by reproducing the snippet with pan-python 0.13.0 and pandevice 0.6.6 on the reported PA-3260 and PA-3000 versions. Trace AddressObject handling through create_similar() and apply_similar(), then compare the generated address configuration on both devices. Done means setting the address object succeeds on the affected device without breaking the working case.
