Mike Lamb · Answer 1

The packet is dropped

Explanation:

To see why we need to understand the ACL or Access-control list that is a list of permissions that specify which users can access or modify certain things in a system. Because the source IP doesn't have any parameter and is just a plain IP and packet the Cisco firewall will drop the packet based on the ACL rules, in other words, the Cisco firewall doesn't have any parameter that allows it to verify the permission-level of the sender, therefore, the packet will drop.
