A network engineer configures an inbound IPv4 extended Access Control List (ACL) on GigabitEthernet0/1 to filter traffic entering a corporate network segment:
text
ip access-list extended FILTER_WEB
permit tcp 172.16.10.0 0.0.0.255 host 192.168.1.50 eq 80
permit tcp 172.16.10.0 0.0.0.255 host 192.168.1.50 eq 443
A workstation at attempts to send ICMP echo request packets (ping) to the server at . What happens to these ICMP packets when processed by the router interface?
- The ICMP packets are dropped because they do not match any explicit permit statement, causing them to hit the implicit deny all clause.Cevap
- BThe ICMP packets are permitted because matching the source IP network range in an active ACL automatically grants basic Layer 3 reachability.
- CThe ICMP packets are permitted because permitting TCP port 80 and 443 implicitly allows accompanying ICMP diagnostics between the same host pair.
- DThe ICMP packets bypass the ACL filtration process because IPv4 extended access control lists only inspect TCP and UDP transport layer headers.
Cevap
The ICMP packets are dropped because they do not match any explicit permit statement, causing them to hit the implicit deny all clause.
Extended IPv4 ACL rules are processed top-down until a match is found. The ACL in the scenario only permits TCP traffic destined for port 80 or port 443. Because ICMP echo requests use the ICMP protocol (not TCP), they do not match either explicit permit statement. Unmatched traffic falls through to the implicit `deny ip any any` entry present at the end of every Cisco ACL, resulting in the packet being dropped.
