3. Which statement about the operation of a standard ACL is incorrect?

  • The router extracts the source IPv4 address from the packet header.
  • The router starts at the top of the ACL and compares the address to each ACE in sequential order.
  • When a match is made, the ACE either permits or denies the packet, and any remaining ACEs are not analyzed.
  • If there are no matching ACEs in the ACL, the packet is forwarded because there is an implicit permit ACE automatically applied to all ACLs.
