Matching IP Ranges in Cisco IOS

Explanation:

The correct Cisco IOS statement to match only the IP range from a specified start IP through an end IP is not provided in the options listed. Cisco IOS uses Access Control Lists (ACLs) to match specified IP ranges, and the syntax involves using wildcard masks. To create an ACL to match a specific range of IP addresses, you would need to use a combination of permit or deny statements along with the appropriate wildcard masks that correspond to the desired range.

For example, if you wanted to match any IP address from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255, you might use a statement like:

access-list 10 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

This statement allows all IP addresses in the 192.168.1.x range, where x is a wildcard placeholder that can be any value from 0 to 255. It is important to note that specifying an exact range of IPs would require calculating the correct wildcard mask that matches only the required range.
