200-201 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit

Exhibit

access-list OUTSIDE extended permit tcp any host 10.0.1.10 eq www
access-list OUTSIDE extended deny ip any any

Refer to the exhibit. What is the effect of this ACL applied to an interface?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the implicit deny all behavior, where candidates mistakenly think an ACL with only a permit statement allows all other traffic, when in fact it denies everything not explicitly permitted.

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

Allows only HTTP traffic to host 10.0.1.10 and denies all else

The ACL in the exhibit (assuming it is a standard or extended ACL with a permit statement for TCP port 80 to host 10.0.1.10 and an implicit deny all) explicitly permits only HTTP traffic (TCP port 80) to the destination host 10.0.1.10. All other traffic is denied by the implicit deny all at the end of the ACL, making option C correct.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Allows all traffic to host 10.0.1.10

    Why it's wrong here

    Only TCP port 80 is permitted, not all traffic.

  • Allows any TCP traffic

    Why it's wrong here

    Only TCP to port 80 on that host.

  • Allows only HTTP traffic to host 10.0.1.10 and denies all else

    Why this is correct

    The permit line specifically allows HTTP; the deny line blocks other traffic.

  • Denies all traffic

    Why it's wrong here

    HTTP to 10.0.1.10 is allowed.
