ISC2 CC Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit
Exhibit
access-list 100 deny ip 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255 any log access-list 100 permit tcp any host 192.168.1.100 eq 80 access-list 100 deny ip any any
Refer to the exhibit. Based on the exhibit, which traffic will be permitted?
⚠ Common exam trap
ISC2 often tests the distinction between source and destination in ACL statements, and the trap here is that candidates misread the ACL as permitting traffic from 192.168.1.100 (source) rather than to it (destination), or confuse the port number (80 for HTTP vs. 22 for SSH).
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
✓
HTTP traffic from any source to 192.168.1.100
The exhibit shows an access control list (ACL) that permits TCP traffic from any source to destination host 192.168.1.100 on port 80 (HTTP). The ACL entry is `permit tcp any host 192.168.1.100 eq 80`, which matches only HTTP traffic. Therefore, only HTTP traffic from any source to 192.168.1.100 is permitted.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All traffic from 192.168.1.100
Why it's wrong here
The access list is inbound; it controls traffic to 192.168.1.100, not from it. Also, the permit entry only allows specific traffic to that host.
- ✗
All traffic from 10.0.1.0/24
Why it's wrong here
The first deny statement blocks all IP traffic from 10.0.1.0/24 to any destination.
- ✗
SSH traffic from any source to 192.168.1.100
Why it's wrong here
SSH uses TCP port 22, which is not permitted; only port 80 is allowed.
- ✓
HTTP traffic from any source to 192.168.1.100
Why this is correct
The permit statement allows TCP port 80 (HTTP) traffic to host 192.168.1.100 from any source.
