Which of the following statements is false when a packet is being compared to an access list?

Question

Group of answer choices

It’s always compared with each line of the access list in sequential order.

Once the packet matches the condition on a line of the access list, the packet is acted upon and no further comparisons take place.

Until all lines have been analyzed, the comparison is not over.

There is an implicit deny at the end of each access list.

Answer 1

The statement that is false when a packet is being compared to an access list is:

"Until all lines have been analyzed, the comparison is not over."

This statement is misleading because once a packet matches a condition on a line of the access list, the packet is acted upon, and no further comparisons are made. The processing stops at the first match, which means that not all lines necessarily need to be analyzed if a match is found early in the list.
