Describe the two basic rules associated with the placement of standard and extended ACLs.

Standard ACLs:

  • Because standard ACLs do not specify destination addresses, place them as close to the destination as possible.

Extended ACLs:

  • Locate extended ACLs as close as possible to the source of the traffic denied. This way, undesirable traffic is filtered without crossing the network infrastructure.
