300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R6: R6# show…

A network engineer runs the following command on Router R6:

R6# show logging | include %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP

*Mar  1 00:01:15.123: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list ACL_INBOUND denied tcp 10.0.0.100(12345) -> 192.168.1.1(80), 1 packet
*Mar  1 00:01:20.456: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list ACL_INBOUND denied tcp 10.0.0.100(12346) -> 192.168.1.1(80), 1 packet
*Mar  1 00:01:25.789: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list ACL_INBOUND denied tcp 10.0.0.100(12347) -> 192.168.1.1(80), 1 packet
*Mar  1 00:01:30.012: %SEC-6-IPACCESSLOGP: list ACL_INBOUND denied tcp 10.0.0.100(12348) -> 192.168.1.1(80), 1 packet

Based on this output, what is the most likely problem?

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

A host at 10.0.0.100 is attempting to access a web server at 192.168.1.1 and is being blocked by the ACL.

The output shows repeated denied packets from source 10.0.0.100 to destination 192.168.1.1 on port 80 (HTTP). This indicates that a host at 10.0.0.100 is trying to access a web server at 192.168.1.1 but is being blocked by ACL ACL_INBOUND. The pattern suggests a possible scan or attack, or a legitimate access that is being denied due to misconfiguration.

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 ACL ACL_INBOUND is permitting traffic from 10.0.0.100 to 192.168.1.1 on port 80.

    Why it's wrong here

    The log shows denied packets, so the ACL is blocking, not permitting.

  • A host at 10.0.0.100 is attempting to access a web server at 192.168.1.1 and is being blocked by the ACL.

    Why this is correct

    The log messages clearly indicate that packets from 10.0.0.100 to 192.168.1.1 port 80 are being denied by ACL ACL_INBOUND.

  • The router is experiencing a DoS attack from 192.168.1.1.

    Why it's wrong here

    The source is 10.0.0.100, not 192.168.1.1.

  • The ACL ACL_INBOUND is not configured on any interface.

    Why it's wrong here

    If it were not configured, no log messages would be generated.

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
