Question 680
One ACL should allow branch192.0.2.0/24 to reach application198.51.100.0/25 but the administrator uses wildcard0.0.0.255 for destination. During troubleshooting: Hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The actual technical cause is: The destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25. It specifically explains the observation: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The correcting configuration is: use destination wildcard0.0.0.127 with the approved /25 network in the extended ACL.
Incorrect Answers
That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A general permit line above the intended deny lets every source use the server HTTPS service. Here the recorded observation is: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The applicable cause is: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.
That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: The broad standard ACL blocks all protocols from a source instead of only HTTPS. Here the recorded observation is: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The applicable cause is: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.
That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Ordinary DNS queries work but secondary DNS zone transfers fail. Here the recorded observation is: hosts in the adjacent half of 198.51.100.0/24 are unexpectedly permitted. The applicable cause is: the destination ACL wildcard matches a /24, not the intended /25.
