To persist ACL changes across restarts, which action should you perform?

• A. Do not restart
• B. Save the configuration
• C. Reapply the ACL commands
• D. Increase timeout values

Answer: (B)

Saving the configuration is what makes ACL changes survive a reboot. When you save, the current running ACL rules are written to non-volatile memory so they are loaded automatically on the next boot. If you restart without saving, the device uses the previously stored startup configuration, and your new ACL changes are lost. Reapplying the ACL commands would affect the current session but won’t persist after a restart unless you save again. Increasing timeout values doesn’t affect persistence.
