300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…

A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:

R1# show ip access-lists

Extended IP access list 180

10 permit tcp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 80 (50 matches)
    
20 permit tcp 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 443 (30 matches)
    
30 deny ip any any (5 matches)

Based on this output, what is the problem?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the ability to interpret ACL match counters and recognize that a working ACL with expected matches does not indicate a problem, leading candidates to incorrectly assume a misconfiguration when none exists.

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

Traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 to port 80 is permitted.

The ACL explicitly permits TCP traffic from the 192.168.1.0/24 network to any destination on port 80, as shown by the first entry with 50 matches. The output confirms that this traffic is being allowed, so there is no problem with that specific rule.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 to port 80 is permitted.

    Why this is correct

    Line 10 permits that traffic with 50 matches.

  • Traffic from 192.168.2.0/24 to port 443 is denied.

    Why it's wrong here

    Line 20 permits that traffic with 30 matches.

  • All traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 is permitted.

    Why it's wrong here

    Only HTTP is permitted; other traffic from that subnet is denied by line 30.

  • The ACL is correctly configured to allow only specific web traffic.

    Why it's wrong here

    While it allows specific web traffic, it denies all other traffic, which may be a problem if other services are needed.

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
