H12-891_V1-0 practice question 29 of 35

When there are multiple rule rules for ACLs in VRP, which of the following statements is true regarding the order of matching? Single choice questions).

Full set: 607 questions
Answer options
A: By default, matching is based on the principle of "depth first"
B: By default, matching occurs in the order in which the permit is matched first and denim later.
C: By default, matching is made from smallest to largest according to the Rule-ID. Correct answer
D: There is only one matching order and cannot be modified.
Correct Answer:
C. By default, matching is made from smallest to largest according to the Rule-ID.
Explanation

In Huawei's Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), Access Control Lists (ACLs) are processed sequentially. By default, the system uses the 'config' matching order. This means it evaluates rules based on their Rule ID, starting from the smallest number and proceeding to the largest. When a packet's parameters match a rule, the action defined in that rule (permit or deny) is executed, and the ACL lookup process for that packet stops. This default behavior allows for predictable and structured policy enforcement.

Why Incorrect

A. "Depth first" is a search algorithm for tree or graph data structures and does not describe the default linear matching process of VRP ACLs.
B. The matching order is based on the Rule ID, not the rule's action. A 'deny' rule with a lower ID will be matched before a 'permit' rule with a higher ID.
D. The matching order is not fixed. VRP allows administrators to change the matching order from the default 'config' mode to an 'auto' mode, which reorders rules for performance optimization.
