300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO statements about the 'ip access-list…
Which TWO statements about the 'ip access-list resequence' command are true? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that resequencing changes the evaluation order of ACL entries, when in fact it only renumbers the entries without altering their sequence of evaluation.
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
✓
The default starting sequence number for the resequence command is 10, and the default increment is 10.
The default starting sequence number for the 'ip access-list resequence' command is 10, and the default increment is also 10. This allows you to renumber the Access Control Entries (ACEs) within an ACL so that you can later insert new entries between existing ones without having to remove and re-add the entire list.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The 'ip access-list resequence' command can be applied to both numbered and named ACLs.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The command only works on named ACLs; numbered ACLs use a fixed numbering scheme and cannot be resequenced.
- ✓
The default starting sequence number for the resequence command is 10, and the default increment is 10.
Why this is correct
Correct. By default, the command renumbers starting at 10 with an increment of 10, unless custom values are specified.
- ✗
The resequence command changes the order in which ACL entries are evaluated.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The order of evaluation remains the same; only the sequence numbers are changed to allow insertion of new entries.
- ✓
The resequence command is useful when you need to insert a new ACE between two existing entries with consecutive sequence numbers.
Why this is correct
Correct. If entries have sequence numbers 10 and 20, you cannot insert between them without resequencing to create gaps.
- ✗
The resequence command can only be used on extended named ACLs, not standard named ACLs.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The command works on both standard and extended named ACLs.
