Managing ACL comment text
16
The <comment-text> can be up to 128 characters in length. The comment must be entered
separately from the actual ACL entry; that is, you cannot enter the ACL entry and the ACL comment
with the same access-list or ip access-list command. Also, in order for the remark to be displayed
correctly in the output of show commands, the comment must be entered immediately before the
ACL entry it describes. Note that an ACL comment is tied to the ACL entry immediately following the
comment. Therefore, if the ACL entry is removed, the ACL comment is also removed.
The standard | extended parameter indicates the ACL type.
Adding a comment to an entry in a named ACL
To add comments to entries in a named ACL, enter commands such as the following.
Syntax: [no] access-list standard | extended <ACL-name>
Syntax: remark <comment-text>
The standard | extended parameter indicates the ACL type.
For <ACL-name>, enter the name of the ACL.
The <comment-text> can be up to 128 characters in length. The comment must be entered
separately from the actual ACL entry; that is, you cannot enter the ACL entry and the ACL comment
with the same ip access-list command. Also, in order for the remark to be displayed correctly in the
output of show commands, the comment must be entered immediately before the ACL entry it
describes. Note that an ACL comment is tied to the ACL entry immediately following the comment.
Therefore, if the ACL entry is removed, the ACL comment is also removed.
