Write a standard numbered ACL

On router R1, build standard access list 10 with two entries:

Then confirm with show access-lists.

Objectives

Hint 1 — syntax

access-list <num> permit|deny <source>. Standard ACLs are numbered 1-99. Use host X.X.X.X for a single host and X.X.X.0 0.0.0.255 for a /24.

Hint 2 — order matters

ACLs match top-down; put the more specific rule (the host permit) BEFORE the broader deny, or the host permit never gets evaluated.

Hint 3 — full sequence

enable
configure terminal
 access-list 10 permit host 192.168.1.100
 access-list 10 deny 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
 end
show access-lists

Try ? after any command for help. ↑ / ↓ for history.
