"A router with three active interfaces and two network protocols(IP and IPX) can have as many as_________active ACL’s

The answer is 12. --->Figured this out from process of elimination.

Based on this Logic. Here is the answer I get 11

One ACL per interface--
ACLs control traffic for an interface, for example, FastEthernet 0/0.
One ACL per protocol--To control traffic flow on an interface, an ACL must be defined for each protocol enabled on the interface.
One ACL per Direction--ACLs control traffic in one direction at a time on an interface. Two separate ACLsmust be created to control inbound and outbound traffic.

3+2+6

    since there is 3 interface and two protocols a calculation will be:
    first remember for each interface there is inbound and outbound. therefore:
    3 interface for ip in and 3 interface for ip out.
    3 interface for ipx in and 3 interface ipx out.
    hence total of 12.
