B. ACL applied to the internal (trusted) interface of a managed device
C. ACL applied to a managed interface prior to an attack being detected
D. ACL used to block traffic on the inbound direction of a managed interface
E. ACL used to block traffic on the external (untrusted) interface of a managed device
Answer: A

The Pre-block ACL designates ACL entries that the Sensor should place in the beginning of the new ACL,
before the addition of any Sensor blocking entries
QUESTION 125
Your Cisco router is hosting an NM-CIDS. The router's configuration contains an output ACL. Which of
the following best describes the action the router takes when it receives a packet that should be dripped
according to the output ACL?
A. The router drops the packet and does not forward it to the NM-CIDS.
B. The router sends the packet to the NM-CIDS for inspection, then performs output-ACL check and drops the
packet.
C. If the packet is an ICMP packet, the router sends it to the NM-CIDS for inspection, then performs output
ACL check and drops the packet. If the packet is not an ICMP packet, the router performs output ACL check
and drops the packet.
D. The router sends the packet to the NM-CIDS check and drops the packet.
Answer: B
B seems to be the best choice, since the packet makes it into the router (no input ACL prevents this), and an
IDS probably should inspect all packets that reach the router core.

Note: The Cisco IOS Software performs an input-ACL check on a packet before it processes the packet for
NAT or Encryption. As explained earlier, the IDS Network Module monitors the packet after the NAT and
decryption is processed. Thus if the packet is dropped by the inbound ACL it is not forwarded to the IDS
Network Module. The Cisco IOS Software performs output-ACL check after the packet is forwarded to the
IDS. Hence the packet will be forwarded to the IDS even if the output ACL drops the packet
QUESTION 126
Your Cisco router is hosting an NM-CIDS. The router's configuration contains an inbound ACL. Which
of the following best describes the action the router takes when it receives a packet that should be
dropped according to the inbound ACL?
A. Router forwards packet to NM-CIDS for inspection, then drops the packet.
B. Router drops the packet and does not forward it to NM-CIDSfor inspection.
C. Router runs the packet against ACL, tags it for drop action, forwards the packet to the NM-CIDS and drops
it if it triggers any signature, even a signature with no action configured.
D. Router runs packet against ACL, forwards packet to NM-CIDS for inspection, only if it is an ICMP packet ,
and then drops the packet.
Answer: B
