Explanation:
For inbound ACL, before the router forwards groups to other interface, the router will compare
group and interface ACL. ACL statement will process in top-down order, until a match item is
found; the follow-up statement will no longer be handled. If no matching item is found in ACL,
groups will be discarded (implicit refusal).
When a packet is received on an interface with an inbound access list configured, the packets are
matched against the access list to determine if they should be permitted or denied. After this
check, the packets are processed by the routing function. The access list check is always done
first.
