What is the command to configure a standard numbered ACL?

  1. (config)# access-list ACL NUMBER permit host IP

  2. (config)# access-list ACL NUMBER remark ACL DESCRIPTION

  3. (config)# ip access-group ACL NUMBER in

  4. (config)# access-list ACL NUMBER deny any

The correct answer is: (config)# access-list ACL NUMBER remark ACL DESCRIPTION

The command to configure a standard numbered Access Control List (ACL) is centered around how the ACL itself is defined within the Cisco IOS. In standard numbered ACLs, the command typically begins with "access-list" followed by the ACL number and the action to take (permit or deny) along with the criteria such as an IP address. The option that provides a command to add a description or remark to the ACL is meant for documentation purposes, allowing network administrators to clarify the intent or function of the ACL, but it does not configure the ACL's rules itself. When setting up a standard numbered ACL, you'd actually specify actions (like permit or deny) alongside the relevant source addresses directly in the ACL commands, not purely for remarking or documentation. To configure a standard numbered ACL, the appropriate command would need to include both the ACL number and the action (permit, deny) portion, focusing on actual traffic filtering. The commands related to defining the ACL, such as specifying rules or applying it on an interface, would involve other statements that directly configure which traffic is permitted or denied based on specified criteria.
