Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Enter global configuration mode, then create the standard access list, then enter interface configuration mode, then apply the access list to the interface.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first enter global configuration mode to create the ACL, then enter the specific interface mode to apply it using the ip access-group command.
- ✗
Enter global configuration mode, then enter interface configuration mode, then create the standard access list, then apply the access list to the interface.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the access list must be created before entering interface mode; applying a non-existent ACL will result in an error.
- ✗
Create the standard access list, then enter global configuration mode, then enter interface configuration mode, then apply the access list to the interface.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the access-list command can only be executed in global configuration mode, so entering that mode must come first.
- ✗
Enter global configuration mode, then create the standard access list, then apply the access list to the interface, then enter interface configuration mode.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the ip access-group command must be applied while in interface configuration mode; applying it from global config is not allowed.
