Explanation
When Panorama pushes configuration to a managed firewall, PAN-OS enforces that object names must be unique within their scope. If a pushed Address Object shares the same name as a locally configured Address Object on the firewall, the firewall treats this as a naming conflict and the commit is rejected - the entire push fails. The firewall does not silently overwrite local objects, rename them with suffixes like '-1', or selectively ignore duplicates. This behavior protects local configurations from being inadvertently overwritten and forces the administrator to resolve naming conflicts before the push can succeed.
