Question 170
For router management protections at a university network edge in Vancouver, a maintenance test revisits the fault: A router ACL was built with one permit line and unexpectedly blocks all other traffic. Which result validates the intended fix most directly?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for acl implicit deny. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Include explicit permits for all intended traffic before the implicit deny at the end', actually resolved the reported issue at a university network edge in Vancouver. The original failure was: A router ACL was built with one permit line and unexpectedly blocks all other traffic.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies acl counter troubleshooting in a different situation, such as when a new permit rule is blamed for a dropped service even though its hit counter never increases. For the reported acl implicit deny incident at a university network edge in Vancouver, the required acceptance evidence is: Specified allowed traffic passes while unmatched packets are denied. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies router control-plane versus interface acl in a different situation, such as when an engineer relies on a transit ACL to protect all router CPU services even though router-destined flows use different paths. For the reported acl implicit deny incident at a university network edge in Vancouver, the required acceptance evidence is: Specified allowed traffic passes while unmatched packets are denied. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies urpf strict asymmetric routes in a different situation, such as when legitimate multihomed source traffic is dropped by strict uRPF because the best reverse path uses another interface. For the reported acl implicit deny incident at a university network edge in Vancouver, the required acceptance evidence is: Specified allowed traffic passes while unmatched packets are denied. This other result does not test that condition directly.
