Question 860
A distribution switch applies an ingress ACL to a routed SVI, but administrators expect it to block frames bridged only inside the same VLAN. Which first diagnostic check is most useful before changing the network?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This check collects evidence at the layer implicated by the symptom: an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface. Examine the evidence before choosing the corrective change.
Incorrect Answers
This would be a reasonable check when an access network requires prevention of forged source-IP traffic from endpoints with stolen static addresses, but is less direct for the issue at hand: an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface.
This would be a reasonable check when a new Layer 3 switch hosts the user VLAN gateway but the SVI mask excludes part of the expected address range, but is less direct for the issue at hand: an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface.
This would be a reasonable check when a switch is configured with DHCP snooping, but legitimate lease offers arriving from the authorized DHCP uplink are dropped, but is less direct for the issue at hand: an L3 SVI ACL may not inspect traffic that never traverses that routed interface.
