Newbie: How can I add a permit/deny after a certain line in access-list?

[BlueTongue]

Sorry to post this stupid question.

show ip access-list examplelist

10 permit......

20 permit......

30 permit......

How can I add another permit line between 10 and 20?

This is for grouping and easy-to-read reasons.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do the following:

conf t

ip access-list examplelist

15 permit ....

i.e. use a sequence number between 10 and 20 and it will place the line between the two.

Hope that helps - pls do rate the post if it does.

Thanks Paresh.

Another question if I may: what about if there are too many additions in the access list and I want to re-number them from:

10 permit....

11

12

13

20

30

40

to:

10 permit.....

20

30

40

50

60

70

Hi,

You can also edit your access list in the notepad. Copy the access list in notepad and then edit according to your needs. Then delte the original list by issuing a 'no' command and then paste the new modified list. And do remember do save your configuration!!!

Hope this helps!

Thanks AbhisheK.

What do you mean by "paste the new modified list"?

I am just telnetting into the router. Do you mean to use tftp to update it?

[abhishek_nandavat]

No you can copy it from notepad, by pressing CTRL+A and then CTRL+C or by right clicking choose 'select all' and then choose'copy'.

After that you can paste it by right clicking at the config# prompt. According to me it is an easier way od editing the access lists.

AbhisheK, your suggestion seems very helpful!

I will give it a try first and let you know how it goes.

AbhisheK, one last question.

The method that you suggested - does it depend on the tool that I use to telnet? I am currently using putty.

Hi,

No, it does not depend on the tool you are using to do telnet. You can also copy paste from the DOS-prompt! And its good that you are using PuTTy, its gooood! You can use the 'logging' feature and easily get your access list in a text file! You just need to change the settings and you'll be done!

Hope this helps!
