How to approach access control list (acl) scenarios

ACL questions test your ability to read, write, and place access lists correctly. They appear as configuration tasks, troubleshooting scenarios, and exhibit-based questions showing ACL output. The CCNA covers standard and extended ACLs for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Quick answer

ACL questions usually test top-down rule processing, source and destination matching, protocol or port logic, and where the ACL should be applied.

Standard versus extended ACL behaviour.

Top-down processing and the implicit deny rule.

Source, destination, protocol and port matching.

Inbound versus outbound ACL placement.
