I changed my mind, i think it is A. Because C says subnetmask. And i dont think they would use the word subnet mask instead of wildcard mask. For A to be true, we need to know that IT guy`s ip address and use that to correct the ACL

but if you apply wildcard mask 0.255.255.255, will function...

Selected Answer: A
..the main problem is sender address 10.0.0.0 It's unlikely that our worker has such an address configured. And then we should choose honey A and C. A - if it is assumed that the employee works from a PС from the network 10.1.1.0/24, then changing the address to 10.1.1.x/32 is reasonable. C - let's say we set /8. It's not very elegant, but any package from 10.1.1.0/24 will pass this access list. It seems to me that opting for a stricter rule is more correct than giving access to the entire 10/8 network.

Selected Answer: C
It is C: we don't know the IT member's IP address, but it is not for sure the 10.1.1.1 showing on picture, that is the interface IP address, and it is /24 subnet, meaning that the IT member would have any one of those 10.1.1.0/24 subnet IP addresses. so by changing the subnet from 0.0.0.0 to 0.0.0.255 we can cover the entire subnet rather than guessing one IP, or permitting the interface IP, which is pointless

ignore it please, but still we need it to be covering the 10.1.1.0 /24 not 10.0.0.0/24 so either we make it /8 or we change it to the specific IP of the IT member either way, changing it to /8 would cover more than we need, which is not secure, so I change my mind to A back

The correct answer appears to be A. Modify the access list to use the correct IP address. This is because the ACL's source IP is 10.0.0.0 with a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.0, which does not cover the subnet 10.1.1.x (where the IT staff might be located). Correcting the ACL to use 10.1.1.0 with an appropriate mask (like 0.0.0.255) would allow access for any host within the 10.1.1.0 subnet.

it´s A the IT member´s IP address is 10.1.1.1 so we must modify the access list to match the ip address permit tcp 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0

I agree that A is correct because ACL's use wildcard bits and the entry matches only the 10.0.0.0 address. Why is D not considered? If the someone is trying to access remote devices wouldn't the ACL need to be applied in the outbound direction?

Im going with A considering that 0.0.0.0 is the equivalent to 255.255.255.255 on on normal mask. So the likelihood of doing a mistake here (considering the scenario) its on the ip address.

if the question would suggest multiple IT staff members, I would go with C but its not the case.

The question is "An IT staff member ", in this case it is only 1 person, the correct answer is A. If the question were "IT staff members" the correct answer will be C

permit 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 will only allow a host with 10.0.0.0 IP but subnet is the wrong word, should be mask.

My choice: Answer C Enough to change the ACL like this: access-list 101 permit tcp 10.0.0.0 0.1.255.255 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 eq ssh time-range Office-hour With answer A, we get only one IP address, from where ssh allowed, while this company has an IT staff.

Selected Answer: C
Okay, I will go with C. I was torn between A and C, but C seems more plausible as the answer because chainging the IP address of the source portion of the ACL will only apply to one host device, when there could be a Staff with multiple devices... I agree that there may be a discrepancy in wording of Subnet Mask and Wildcard mask, but subnetmask can be changed from 0.0.0.0 to 0.255.255.255 to cover the correct subnetmask.

Selected Answer: A
The source 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 means host 10.0.0.0, and it is not valid for this topology. So, we need to correct the source ip address for sure.

The information is missing, what should we set as the source in the ACL. Is the device shown in the question the source or the destination of the telnet traffic? Or is telnet transiting through it? If it is the source, and telnet should be initiated from this device (10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0) to other devices (172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255), then: -the ACL won't work. We can't apply any ACL to the outbound traffic generated locally by the router itself If telnet is transiting through this device (for instance, coming from a LAN connected to E0/0), then: -we should correct the ip address and wildcard mask, too: access-list 101 permit tcp 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 eq ssh time-range Office-hour The device with IP 10.1.1.1 could also be the destination, and telnet traffic would enter on E0/0 inbound. In that case the ACL would be something like this: access-list 101 permit tcp 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 host 10.1.1.1 eq ssh time-range Office-hour The output does not show clearly, how they want to use the ACL.

I would chose "C", but the word "subnet mask" got me... "A" seems more right, but I am not sure.

A A is more accurate but you have to modify both IP and Wilcard 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 it should be like that

The question didn't say what IP the connection is from or to. It didn't say the SSH is to the router itself. It is more than likely the SSH traffic is through the router instead of destined or sourced from the router. In that case, I think C would make more sense. 10.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 is clearly wrong.
