5.13.6 Permit Traffic The Fiji router has been configured with Standard IP Access List 11. The access list is applied to the Fa0/0 interface. The access list must allow all traffic except traffic coming from hosts 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.12. However, you've noticed that it's preventing all traffic from being sent on Fa0/0. You remember that access lists contain an implied deny any statement. This means that any traffic not permitted by the list is denied. For this reason, access lists should contain at least one permit statement or all traffic is blocked. In this lab, your task is to: Add a permit any statement to Access List 11 to allow all traffic other than the restricted traffic. Save your changes in the startup-config file.

Complete this lab as follows: Enter the configuration mode for the Fiji router:From the exhibit, select the Fiji router.From the terminal, press Enter.Type enable and then press Enter.Type config term and then press Enter.
