Question 770
After implementing a correction at a telecommunications branch in Oslo, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: A router ACL was built with one permit line and unexpectedly blocks all other traffic. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
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 telecommunications branch in Oslo. 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 telecommunications branch in Oslo, 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 telecommunications branch in Oslo, 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 telecommunications branch in Oslo, the required acceptance evidence is: Specified allowed traffic passes while unmatched packets are denied. This other result does not test that condition directly.
