Is this an error in Tod Lammels book or my head? lol CCENT ACL

Hey guys
SO i have Tod Lammels book here CCENT 100-101
This is Hands on Lab 12.1 Standard ACL

SO it says this:

"In this lab you will allow only packets from a single host on the SF lan to enter the LA Lan"

Go to LA Router
create ACL and bind to int. So:

access-list 10 permit 192.168.20.2 0.0.0.0
Int f0/0
ip access-group 10 out

Help me out here, isnt this actually only allowing one host on the LA lan OUT of the network? here is the topology::

Ok,

I wasnt 100% on my mis conception. But lammels book is wrong, and i found a correction in his website for this.
Saying out means out of the router to to that interface.
However lammels book said to use 192.168.20.2. and its supposed to say 192.168.10.2 (that correction is shown on his website)

Well if you read this book now you know. Someone help me verify i have my ducks in a row please

Lammels book describes things very well. But ive noticed multiple wrong things in this book, as well as repeat questions in chapter tests. He does post corrections on his website, but i kinda feel this book should have been proof read a little better. His Network+ book was very well written.

You will see a few mistakes in Lammle's book. Hang out in his forum (albeit, it has very low traffic) and you will see folks
who point these things out like your issue above (I did)

"In this lab you will allow only packets from a single host on the SF lan to enter the LA Lan"

192.168.20.2 is not on the SF LAN to start with.

I think it's safe to assume the book meant to say 192.168.10.2 as the ACL logic applied makes sense in that scenario. Placing the Standard ACL as close to the destination as possible, in this case LA Router's Fa0/0 interface in the out direction (after the forwarding decision has been made).

Thank you gentlemen

I guess these errors are good, it helps me remember. LOL but while your trying to learn this it kinda throws your mind through a loop haha

Ill get on the lammel forum too thanks for the suggestion

All books have mistakes but they stand out more in technical books.
One of the problems is the proof readers often don't understand the content so they are just looking for grammar and spelling type mistakes.

Yeah, a lot of books have a page/site dedicated to its errata. I always look for something for each book I get...helps to be aware.
