A week after configuring an ACL, it disappears. What is the most likely cause?

• A. The administrator did not run the apply ACL command.
• B. The NetScaler has been restarted without saving the configurations.
• C. The Simple ACLs remain active for 600 seconds.
• D. The Simple ACLs remain active for 60 seconds.

Answer: (A)

ACLs on Citrix ADC must be actively pushed into the datapath to take effect. Creating an ACL alone places it in the configuration, but it won’t become active until you run the apply step to commit it. If the apply action wasn’t performed, the ACL change remains uncommitted and can disappear from the active configuration over time. So, the most likely cause is that the administrator did not run the apply ACL command to push the change into the running configuration.
