How are the entries in the Access List and Connect List processed?

The processing of entries in the Access List and Connect List is done in sequence order. This means that when a device attempts to connect, the entries are evaluated one after the other based on the defined order in the list. This sequential processing allows for precise control over which connections are permitted or denied, as each entry can take effect before moving on to the next one.

For instance, if you have specific entries that allow or disallow certain types of connections, the router will check the first entry. If the condition matches, it will apply the rule, and there will be no need to check the subsequent entries. If the condition does not match, it continues to the next entry, thus ensuring that the rules are processed based on their arrangement in the list.

While option B suggests that processing is done by interface name, which would imply a different methodology, the main principle at play is that the rules are evaluated in a set order defined by the user. This sequential approach is crucial for effective access management.
