Author wrong answer to practice question?
Nathaniel W. Cook

2003-09-24, 3:25 pm

Hello,

There is a question in Todd Lammle's CCNA book that confuses me. The question is:

What happens when an access list is applied to an interface when the keywords in or out have not been included in the command syntax?

A. The access list will not be applied to the interface.
B. The access list will be applied inbound by default.
C. The access list will be applied outbound by default.
D. The access list will be applied inbound and outbound.

Answer?

According to the book the answer is:

C. If neither the keyword in nor out is used when applying an access list to an interface, the access list will be applied outbound by default. If you have planned to implement security inbound to the interface, ensure that you have used the in keyword.

But I tried it on a 2500 router and this is what I got:

East#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
East(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.2
East(config)#int e0
East(config-if)#ip access-group 1 ?
in inbound packets
out outbound packets

East(config-if)#ip access-group 1
% Incomplete command.

Hi

Have you checked www.Sybex.com for any corrections to the book. They list
several amendments to the CCNA books.

Odom's Certification Guide for 640-607 says that in IOS version 11.3 and
earlier, the default direction for an access-group statement is "out" and
that with version 12.0 and beyond you have to specify in or out (p. 500).

Thanks, that explains it. This (and I think other things also) are NOT
listed in the errata of the Sybex website.

In this rare occasion Todd Lammle is correct. Which IOS version are you
using?

When I was studying for CCNA (3 years ago), the default for the
"access-group" command was "out". I had no idea it has changed since then.
Wendell Odom's book that I have doesn't mention it. Apparently, this was
changed starting in IOS 12.0, and the newer edition of Wendell Odom's book
reflected the change. When answering your question, I suspected the
discrepancy was due to a difference in IOS versions, but the reply to your
post from Robert Smales clarified it. He wrote that "in IOS version 11.3 and
earlier, the default direction for an access-group statement is 'out' and
.... with version 12.0 and beyond you have to specify in or out (p. 500)."

So, thanks to your question I too learned something new. I doubt this
question will be on the actual test due to the recent change in its default
implementation. You may be reading an older book by Todd Lammle, or maybe
Todd doesn't realize this command doesn't take defaults anymore.

Yes I've noticed the same thing. It's very annoying when he asks a review
question on something he never covered in the actual text itself. Still all
in all it should be enough to let us pass the test. I hope to take the
640-607 next week sometime.
