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 interface GigabitEthernet0/0 | include access list

Outgoing access list is 102 Inbound access list is not set

Then the engineer checks:

R1# show ip access-lists 102

Extended IP access list 102

10 deny tcp any any eq 23
    
20 permit ip any any

What does this output indicate?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the distinction between the ACL being 'applied' to an interface versus the ACL's content, and the trap here is that candidates see the ACL content and assume it is applied inbound without checking the interface output for direction.

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

ACL 102 is applied outbound on GigabitEthernet0/0, denying Telnet traffic and permitting all other traffic.

The output of 'show ip interface GigabitEthernet0/0 | include access list' shows 'Outgoing access list is 102', which means ACL 102 is applied in the outbound direction on that interface. The ACL itself contains a deny statement for TCP traffic destined to port 23 (Telnet) followed by a permit ip any any, so it denies Telnet traffic while permitting all other IP traffic. Option A correctly summarizes this behavior.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • ACL 102 is applied outbound on GigabitEthernet0/0, denying Telnet traffic and permitting all other traffic.

    Why this is correct

    The output shows the ACL is outbound and its entries.

  • ACL 102 is applied inbound on GigabitEthernet0/0, blocking Telnet.

    Why it's wrong here

    The output says 'Outgoing access list is 102'.

  • ACL 102 is not applied to any interface.

    Why it's wrong here

    It is applied outbound on GigabitEthernet0/0.

  • ACL 102 is applied inbound and outbound on GigabitEthernet0/0.

    Why it's wrong here

    Only outbound is set.
