Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The 'ip access-group' command applies an ACL to an interface in a specified direction.
The 'ip access-group' command is used to apply an ACL to an interface in a specific direction (in or out). It can be applied to both Layer 3 interfaces (routed ports) and SVIs. The ACL must already exist in the configuration. The command does not create the ACL; it only applies it. The 'in' direction filters traffic entering the interface, and 'out' filters traffic leaving.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The 'ip access-group' command applies an ACL to an interface in a specified direction.

Why it's wrong here
