Question

accesslist_sim

An administrator is trying to ping and telnet from Switch to Router with the results shown below:

Switch>
Switch> ping 10.4.4.3
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.4.4.3,timeout is 2 seconds:
.U.U.U
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
Switch>
Switch> telnet 10.4.4.3
Trying 10.4.4.3 …
% Destination unreachable; gateway or host down
Switch>

Click the console connected to Router and issue the appropriate commands to answer the questions.

Answer and Explanation

Note: If you are not sure about Access-list, please read my Access-list tutorial. You can also download this sim to practice (open with Packet Tracer) here: http://www.9tut.com/download/9tut.com_CCNA_Access_List_Sim.pkt

For this question we only need to use the show running-config command to answer all the questions below

Router>enable
Router#show running-config

accesslist_sim_showrun1

accesslist_sim_showrun2

accesslist_sim_showrun3

Question 1:

Which will fix the issue and allow ONLY ping to work while keeping telnet disabled?

A – Correctly assign an IP address to interface fa0/1
B – Change the ip access-group command on fa0/0 from “in” to “out”
C – Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 115 in.
D – Remove access-group 102 out from interface s0/0/0 and add access-group 114 in
E – Remove access-group 106 in from interface fa0/0 and add access-group 104 in

 

Answer: E

 

Explanation:

Let’s have a look at the access list 104:

accesslist_sim_answer1

The question does not ask about ftp traffic so we don’t care about the two first lines. The 3rd line denies all telnet traffic and the 4th line allows icmp traffic to be sent (ping). Remember that the access list 104 is applied on the inbound direction so the 5th line “access-list 104 deny icmp any any echo-reply” will not affect our icmp traffic because the “echo-reply” message will be sent over the outbound direction.

Question 2:

What would be the effect of issuing the command ip access-group 114 in to the fa0/0 interface?

A – Attempts to telnet to the router would fail
B – It would allow all traffic from the 10.4.4.0 network
C – IP traffic would be passed through the interface but TCP and UDP traffic would not
D – Routing protocol updates for the 10.4.4.0 network would not be accepted from the fa0/0 interface

 

Answer: B

Explanation:

From the output of access-list 114: access-list 114 permit ip 10.4.4.0 0.0.0.255 any we can easily understand that this access list allows all traffic (ip) from 10.4.4.0/24 network

Question 3:

What would be the effect of issuing the command access-group 115 in on the s0/0/1 interface?

A – No host could connect to Router through s0/0/1
B – Telnet and ping would work but routing updates would fail.
C – FTP, FTP-DATA, echo, and www would work but telnet would fail
D – Only traffic from the 10.4.4.0 network would pass through the interface

 

Answer: A

Explanation:

First let’s see what was configured on interface S0/0/1:

accesslist_sim_answer3

Recall that each interface only accepts one access-list, so when using the command “ip access-group 115 in” on the s0/0/1 interface it will overwrite the initial access-list 102. Therefore any telnet connection will be accepted (so we can eliminate answer C).
B is not correct because if telnet and ping can work then routing updates can, too.
D is not correct because access-list 115 does not mention about 10.4.4.0 network. So the most reasonable answer is A.

But here raise a question…

The wildcard mask of access-list 115, which is 255.255.255.0, means that only host with ip addresses in the form of x.x.x.0 will be accepted. But we all know that x.x.x.0 is likely to be a network address so the answer A: “no host could connect to Router through s0/0/1” seems right…

But what will happen if we don’t use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0? For example we can use an ip address of 10.45.45.0 255.255.0.0, such a host with that ip address exists and we can connect to the router through that host. Now answer A seems incorrect!

Please comment if you have any idea for this sim!

    About Q3 , first of all we must agree that there is nothing called current topology and later topology , Access-lists are made for any current or coming topology , it’s access-lists for this router no matter what are connecting it .

    So if we agree with that , “A” , “C” & “D” answers are wrong . “A” fails with sub-netting and non /24 networks . “C” & “D” obviously fails .

    “B” consists of 2 parts , one of them “but routing updates would fail. ” that’s right as [Vnpro(nbh)] said , and the part “Telnet and ping would work” Depends on what if “would” is literally meant , if it was then the answer is correct so no all IPs could telnet or ping , if not so this part is wrong also .

    Seems there is no perfect answer but “B” is the most relativity correct answer .

    waiting for your replies .

    About Question 3:

    The reason A is correct is because by default at the end of every access list (unless specifically specified otherwise) is an explicit deny.

    plz who any one send me the full configuration of ACL plz plz.

  16. drake
    April 18th, 2011

    question 3 aswer a :

    acl uses a wild card mask so:

    255.255.255.255
    - 255. 255.255.0 —/ its mask s0/0/1
    ——————————————–
    0 . 0 . 0 . 255 <- thats the correct contingous mask
    why the ios get incorrect mask?

  17. Shenoy
    April 20th, 2011

    I think for Q3 Answer (A) is correct, because this is pertaining to the Given Lab sim and the Sh run explains that all the Subnets are /24. so I think none of the Hosts will be able to access….. Please correct me if I am wrong!!!!!!!!

  19. Maxxie
    April 20th, 2011

    regarding Q3
    ACL are using wild card mask so
    255.255.255.0 equals to 0.0.0.255 normal mask and this is wrong.
    so here is the questions:
    1. Why this mask was applied?

    Any way the answer is A cause oher doesn’t match

    I would like to confirm the difference between the ‘permit icmp any any echo’ and ‘deny icmp any any echo-reply’ statements in ACL 104. In the first case, it is permitting a reply to a ping orignating on a local network. In the second case, it is denying the local host’s reply to a ping from outside the local network; i.e., the Internet.
    Can someone confirm this!

  28. tomtom
    May 20th, 2011

    In question 1, why is B not correct? Pings from the switch will come in (no acl in) and echo reply would be allowed (acl out).

  29. tomtom
    May 20th, 2011

    Ok. Regarding Q1 “why B is wrong?” I now get it. The answer from CBTNugget-fan is correct.

  30. Bala
    May 21st, 2011

    @Tomtom:-
    For Q1 B is incorrect.As the option explicitly didn’t specify which access-list needs to be applied outbound.If we assume 106 access-list to apply outbound B would become correct.However there is another best option E which is correct.

    About question 3. This is a very tricky one.
    First of all I agree about that the router will only accept 1 access-group and overwrite the current one for the one we are issuing.
    Second, to me wildcard 255.255.255.0 means a 24 bits mask, and network 0.0.0.0 could be an any or maybe a network in the form “0.0.0.x”, then we know that there is no network in that form, so A would be the right question, nevertheless what if the “permit ip 0.0.0.0″ means any network with a 24 bit mask, then A would be incorrect, I´m not sure, I was looking for the right network forms for access-list but didn´t find anything worth it, we know that a wildcard 0.0.0.0 means a host but how would that zeroes work when we are talking about network prefix in access-list ?? ,, any more ideas ??

  33. BlAcK_SuNdAy
    June 12th, 2011

    Here’s the explanation for Question #1.
    A – is wrong because interface fa0/1 is not configured and no device connected.
    B – it says change the command from “in” to “out” , not to remove “in”.
    **Note that we can have one inbound access list and one outbound access list per interface.
    **Inbound ACLs are checked before routing table. Outbound ACLs are checked after routing table.
    So the interface will have one “in” and one “out” for access-group 106. Knowing that, the router will filter inbound traffic as access-list 106 denying telnet and icmp echo. (icmp echo is denied because of the implicit deny at the end of the access-list 106.) Access list for outbound interface is not considered by the router because the traffic has originated from the router.
    **Access lists are only valid for traffic that is going through the router, they don’t filter traffic that is locally generated by the router.
    For above reasons, B is wrong. (if we remove the “in”and apply “out”, the answer is right)
    C – is wrong. Wildcard bits don’t match the switch’s ip address 10.4.4.1. (x.x.x.0 ≠ x.x.x.1)
    So any ip traffic from switch will be denied by default. (implicit deny at the end)
    D – is obviously wrong. interface s0/0/0 doesn’t need to be considered.
    E – access-group 104 is applied to inbound traffic coming to interface f0/0. (old inbound access-group is overwrited and automatically removed (we can only have one “in” AND one “out” per interface.)
    icmp traffic is allowed because the packets matches “permit icmp any any echo” at the 4th line of the access-group 104. (Don’t confuse with the “deny icmp any any echo-reply” at the 5th line. This means that router can send echo request to switch but the ping will not be successful because echo-reply came back from switch is denied at the interface f0/0.)
    telnet from switch is denied due to the “deny tcp any any eq telnet” of the access-group 104.
    So finally we met the criteria that says “allow ONLY ping to work while keeping telnet disabled.”

    I’m sorry if anything wrong in my english. Not a native speaker :) \m/

    Does anyone know how the qusetions are weighted? As there is no clear answer for q3 I am wondering how many marks I will likely drop for getting this Q wrong?

  35. Joe
    June 22nd, 2011

    Has anyone seen this sim on an exam? For question 3, I tend to agree with Vnpro(nbh)’s thinking that B is the correct answer. If the only IP addresses permitted are x.x.x.0, then how can routing updates be sent? I’m taking the test in 2 days and would like to get some clarification on this.

  36. Vlad
    June 26th, 2011

    In first question the right answer is B. Just change the direction of ACL and thats all. Try PT and you’ll see.

  37. Vlad
    June 26th, 2011

    Sorry, In question 1 B is incorrect. E is correct.

    Its necesary to study this sim for the exam? I think the good lab is the other acl lab, or not?

  39. mkultra
    July 13th, 2011

    Question 3 = A – No host could connect to Router through s0/0/1

    if one router link resides in the network x.x.x.1-254 with a mask of 255.255.255.0 it follows that the remote link ip address should reside in the same range of x.x.x.1-254. If an access list is denying inbound traffic in the range of x.x.x.1-254 on either interface then at best you’d only get one-way ip traffic between routers. no end to end ip connection, no routing through that link either. Might as well stop chasing your tail right there.

    And if you change the interface on the other end to 10.45.45.0 255.255.0.0 like the guy suggests it could work, then you can forget the 115 ACL altogether. Because you’re not going to get ip connectivity between those two interfaces, period. With or without the 115 ACL. No pings, no telnet, no routing updates.

    Sure, if the router 10.45.45.1 /24 sends a ping to 10.45.45.0 /16, then 10.45.45.0 would get the ping but its reply will be ignored by 10.45.45.1. And it follows that 10.45.45.0 would get routing updates from 10.45.45.1, but 10.45.45.1 would never get routing updates from 10.45.45.0

    Now before the lot of you run to packet tracer to test it out let me add that PT is broken. it’s no substitute for knowledge and hands-on real hardware..

    To the anonymous guy a few posts above who thinks 0.0.0.0 can’t be used. You can have a source of ip 0.0.0.0 in an ACL without probs. What’s wrong here is the source’s wildcard mask. Not the source ip.

    With the wildcard of 255.255.255.0 in ACL 115 you’re allowing traffic from ip source 0.0.0.X only. But ip X.X.X.X is implicitly denied as the last statement and it follows that X.X.X.0-255 would be denied too.

    For example I can change the ACL 115 to “permit ip 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.3 any” and change the interfaces’ subnet masks to 255.255.255.252 in both routers. This would allow end to end ip routing between routers in the network of 10.45.45.0 /30 But the ACL applied to that interface wouldn’t let inbound traffic from x.x.x.4-254 through it. A ping with the source ip 10.45.50.(6) will not get through that interface, but traffic inbound with a source IP 10.45.50.(2) will pass through just fine.

    So yes, you can have a 0.0.0.0 as a source IP. In fact the keyword “any” used as a source ip/host in an access list is the equivalent of using 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 as the source host.

  41. Milan
    July 25th, 2011

    For q3 I think that correct answer is A.

    B couldn’t be as Vnpro said because this ACL block traffic based on source address, not destination, so we can’t compare routing updates with this.
    Routing updates, as he said, goes to destination 255.255.255.255, 224.0.0.5…not from source 255.255.255.255. Source is host IP address.

    D may be correct but because of that “Only” I wouldn’t choose that. :)

  43. mkultra
    July 28th, 2011

    @Milan
    Agreed. On Q3. The first time I looked at the problem I instinctively went for D, but I realized I was wrong since packets from other sources could pass through the router in the outbound direction. The other interfaces have ACLs that allow them to forward traffic to s0/0/1 (10.45.45.1). At least one routing protocol is going to form an adjacency or exchange a route table.
    So saying that “only” traffic from 10.4.4.0 could pass through the s0/0/1 int seems wrong.

  44. drol
    August 1st, 2011

    Hi I m here to tell the correct answer for question 3, the answer is A (absolutely correct).
    According to ACL, wild card mask given is 255.255.255.0 for any 0.0.0.0. so the source ip address should be of the form x.x.x.0 .
    The point every one forgot is the gateway address of the router whose subnet is 255.255.255.0 .

    It says that any host which connects to the router should be class C address. But in class C, all the address which ends with a 0 like (y.y.y.0) is a network address.

    Thus we have the answer no host can connect to the router. I accept that it was a very nice question to understand the importance of gateway address. Bye Bye.

  46. Alberto
    August 7th, 2011

    We focused on the question C. After reading the explanation of webmaster, i think that this shows several issues that are right!, but, i think that we need pay attention on the subnet address of the Serial0/0/1 interface on the router, this IP has relation with the wildcard mask of access-list 115, only in this case, anyone host would be sent traffic to another host in different subnet, even to the router.

    I suggest that first check the IP address and mask in the interface where will configure the access-list, then see the answers access-list and determine the best answer for this specific case.

    Question C = Question 3 for above comment.

  48. mkultra
    August 8th, 2011

    @alberto if you mean to suggest that the answer for Q3 is C then you couldn’t possibly be wronger than that. If telnet fails, as it seems to suggest on answer C, so will ftp and everything else.
    ACL 115 doesn’t even specify any port in particular.

  50. Deepti
    August 11th, 2011

    Hey Guys,for the question 2,pass4sure dumps say option C is correct that tcp and udp traffic will not be allowed and ip traffic would be passed.here i see a different answer.i guess in todd’s book its mentioned tht if use ip first then u cant specify application layer protocol later.and access-list 115 uses ip only.so obviously u cant specify application layer protocol.so tcp and udp traffic will be dropped and only ip will be passed..thats y i think pass4sure has option C as the answer and not B as on 9tut. need feedback..????
