300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to troubleshoot an…

A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot an IPv4 Access Control Lists issue:

R1# show ip access-lists 130

Extended IP access list 130

10 deny ip host 10.1.1.1 host 10.2.2.2
    
20 permit ip any any

Then the engineer runs:

R1# debug ip packet 130
IP packet debugging is on for access list 130
*Mar  1 00:20:10.123: IP: s=10.1.1.1 (GigabitEthernet0/0), d=10.2.2.2, len 100, proto ICMP, access list 130: matched line 
10 deny ip host 10.1.1.1 host 10.2.2.2

What does this output indicate?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the misconception that a debug message showing a packet matched an ACL line implies the packet was permitted, when in fact the action (deny or permit) is determined by the matched line's 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

ICMP traffic from 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.2.2 is being denied by ACL 130.

The debug output explicitly shows that the packet with source 10.1.1.1 and destination 10.2.2.2 matched line 10 of ACL 130, which is a deny statement. Since the ACL is evaluated sequentially and the first match is a deny, the ICMP traffic is denied. The debug message confirms the match, so option A is 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.

  • ICMP traffic from 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.2.2 is being denied by ACL 130.

    Why this is correct

    The debug shows the match on the deny line.

  • ICMP traffic from 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.2.2 is being permitted by ACL 130.

    Why it's wrong here

    It matches a deny line.

  • ACL 130 is applied outbound on GigabitEthernet0/0.

    Why it's wrong here

    Direction is not indicated.

  • ACL 130 is not matching any packets.

    Why it's wrong here

    The debug shows a match.

Visual reference

Source Router + ACL permit 10.0.0.0/8 deny any Server 10.0.0.5 ✓ 192.168.1.1 ✗ dropped ACLs evaluate top-down; first match wins — implicit deny all at end
