200-201 Practice Question: Based on the exhibit, which traffic is permitted?
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. access-list INTERNET extended permit tcp any host 198.51.100.10 eq 443 access-list INTERNET extended deny ip any any
Based on the exhibit, which traffic is permitted?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the directionality of ACL rules, and the trap here is confusing the source and destination fields, leading candidates to mistakenly think the rule permits traffic from the host rather than to the host.
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
✓
All HTTPS traffic to the host 198.51.100.10.
The exhibit shows an access control list (ACL) entry 'permit tcp any host 198.51.100.10 eq 443'. This permits TCP traffic with a destination port of 443 (HTTPS) to the specific host 198.51.100.10 from any source. Therefore, only HTTPS traffic destined to that host is permitted, making option D correct.
