Standard ACLs: CCNA ICND-2 Official Study Guide: Error Mine or Book's?

CharlesMolnar

Good evening.

The book in question is the CCNA ICND-2 Official Study Guide from Cisco Press, 2nd edition, copyright 2008 by Wendell Odom.  Specifically I'm referencing an example of standard ACL configuration, the example situation found on pages 241 through 243.

The criteria for the access lists state that Sam should not be allowed access to Bugs or Daffy; the implemented solution simply denies all outbound traffic from Sam on the Yosemite router.  Wouldn't this also prevent Sam from accessing resources on 10.1.30?  Wouldn't a better solution be to implement an outbound ACL on Albuquerque E0 to deny Sam access to the 10.1.1.0 subnet, like this?

interface ethernet 0

ip access-group 1 out

^Z

access-list 1 remark Denies access only to Sam

access-list 1 deny host 10.1.2.1

access-list 1 permit any

Maybe I'm reading the example entirely wrong, which is possible: it's pretty late here!  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Just a basic information on ACL woring flow,hope it would be helpful to deploy the acl in your scenario

An access-list can be assigned to an interface in two directions:  - INput - OUTput

Router(config)# int fa 0/0
Router(config-int)# ip access-group 100 in
Router(config-int)# ip access-group 101 out

An access-list that was assigned to an interface in the INput direction will be applied to packets that are coming to that interface.

An access-list that was assigned to an interface in the OUTput direction will be applied to packets that are leaving through that interface.

Hope to Help !!
