200-201 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit
Exhibit
Mar 1 2025 12:35:00: %SEC-5-IPACCESSLOG: list 101 permitted icmp 10.0.0.1 -> 192.168.1.1
Refer to the exhibit. What does this log entry indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the ability to distinguish between protocol numbers (TCP=6, UDP=17, ICMP=1) and to correctly interpret the 'permit' or 'deny' action in log entries, leading candidates to confuse the protocol or the action.
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
✓
A permitted ICMP packet
The log entry shows an ICMP packet with a permit action, as indicated by the 'permit' keyword and the protocol number 1 (ICMP). The source and destination IP addresses, along with the ICMP type and code, confirm it is an ICMP echo request (type 8, code 0). Therefore, this is a permitted ICMP packet.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
A denied TCP packet
Why it's wrong here
The log is for ICMP, not TCP, and it's permitted.
- ✗
A permitted UDP packet
Why it's wrong here
The log specifies ICMP, not UDP.
- ✓
A permitted ICMP packet
Why this is correct
The log explicitly states 'permitted icmp'.
- ✗

Why it's wrong here
