Is there anyone here who knows about access lists?

[CaGirl]

I took the CCNA exam two days ago and had a simulation question dealing with an access list- I think to block telnet. But whenever I typed in the command to create it, it told me I was using an invalid command with a marker pointing to the word "access". Did I miss something? Isn't the command to create a basic access list (for example, to permit ip) something like: router(config)#access-list 110 permit ip any any ? I was getting really frustrated- I finally just had to move on to the next question because the simulation wasn't accepting my commands. And I wound up missing certification by one question! (Grrrr!)Am I doing something wrong? Or is it possible that there was an issue with the question itself? I'm retesting in a few days and don't want this to happen again. Can someone please help me? Thank you very very much!

The syntax you have stated above is one of two ways with which to create and access list. The other method (which they may have been looking for) is:

test(config)#ip access-list extended 101
test(config-ext-nacl)#permit ip any any

Having said this I remember doing the CCNP BSCI exam and the NAT simulator not accepting valid commands so it is perfectly plausible that there could have been an error on the sim. Good luck
