• B

• C
  6% (2)
• D
  88% (28)

Explanation

An Access Control List (ACL) restricts network-level access to the NSIP by filtering traffic based on source IP, protocol, and port - it acts as a firewall rule that blocks or allows packets before they ever reach the management interface. Command policies (A) control what CLI commands a user can run once they're already authenticated, not who can reach the IP. Authorization policies (B) determine what resources an authenticated user is permitted to access within a session, not network reachability. Authentication policies (C) define how users prove their identity (e.g., LDAP, RADIUS), but they can't prevent unauthenticated connection attempts from reaching the NSIP in the first place.

Memory tip: Think "ACL = Address/Connection Lock" - it locks down who can even knock on the door at the network layer, before any login or command is involved.
