Apparently, it matches any TCP traffic with a destination port of 80.

Joseph got to this before I did and I agree with his answer. I would also say that while the acl statement is correct in its syntax that it unnecessarily complex. the statement "range 0 65535" simply restates what is the default behavior and so is redundant.

I had thought to mention that, the ACE's unnecessary complexity, and decided not, but it's probably worthwhile Rick did, as may confuse because it's, as he noted, redundant.

Depending on the platform, actually entering that statement, as posted, the platform might remove the range portion.

This ACL rule allows TCP traffic from any source IP (any) and any source port (range 0 65535) to any destination IP (any), but only if the destination port is 80 (HTTP), represented by eq www. In simple terms, it permits all HTTP traffic to flow unrestricted to any server, where permit allows the traffic, tcp specifies the protocol, and eq www targets the HTTP port.

Pls like and accept the post as helpful if this really helps you.
