- A
The 'ip access-list resequence' command can be applied to both numbered and named ACLs.
Why wrong: Incorrect. The command only works on named ACLs; numbered ACLs use a fixed numbering scheme and cannot be resequenced.
- B
The default starting sequence number for the resequence command is 10, and the default increment is 10.
Correct. By default, the command renumbers starting at 10 with an increment of 10, unless custom values are specified.
- C
The resequence command changes the order in which ACL entries are evaluated.
Why wrong: Incorrect. The order of evaluation remains the same; only the sequence numbers are changed to allow insertion of new entries.
- D
The resequence command is useful when you need to insert a new ACE between two existing entries with consecutive sequence numbers.
Correct. If entries have sequence numbers 10 and 20, you cannot insert between them without resequencing to create gaps.
- E
The resequence command can only be used on extended named ACLs, not standard named ACLs.
Why wrong: Incorrect. The command works on both standard and extended named ACLs.
300-410 IPv4 Access Control Lists Practice Question
This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of ipv4 access control lists. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO statements about the 'ip access-list resequence' command are true? (Choose TWO.)
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.
Option B is correct because 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.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
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.
Trap categories for this question
Command / output trap
Incorrect. The command only works on named ACLs; numbered ACLs use a fixed numbering scheme and cannot be resequenced.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The 'ip access-list resequence' command modifies the sequence numbers of ACEs in a named ACL, using a specified starting number and increment. This is particularly useful when you have ACEs with sequence numbers that are too close together (e.g., consecutive numbers like 10 and 11), making it impossible to insert a new ACE between them without first resequencing to create gaps. The command does not alter the logical order of evaluation; the ACEs remain in the same relative order as before resequencing.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A security administrator must allow nursing staff to reach a patient records server while blocking access from the guest Wi-Fi VLAN. After applying an extended ACL, traffic is still blocked from nursing workstations. The ACL was applied outbound instead of inbound on the wrong interface. Questions like this test ACL direction and placement rules.
