Question

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

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

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

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

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

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, in reality, once a packet matches a condition on a line of the access list, the action (permit or deny) is taken immediately, and no further comparisons are made. Therefore, it's not accurate to say that the comparison isn't over until all lines have been analyzed, as processing can stop early once a matching condition is found.
