IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs)

Configuring Extended ACLs

Creating a Named, Extended ACL and/or Entering the “Named ACL” (nacl) Context. This command is a prerequisite to entering or editing ACEs in a named, extended ACL. (For a summary of the extended ACL syntax options, refer to table 9-7on page 9-53.)

Syntax: ip access-list extended < name-str>

Places the CLI in the “Named ACL” (nacl) context specified by the < name-str> alphanumeric identifier. This enables entry of individual ACEs in the specified ACL. If the ACL does not already exist, this command creates it.

<name-str>: Specifies an alphanumeric identifier for the ACL. Consists of an alphanumeric string of up to 64 case-sensitive characters. Including spaces in the string requires that you enclose the string in single or double quotes. For example: “Accounting ACL”. You can also use this command to access an existing, numbered ACL. Refer to “Using the CLI To Edit ACLs” on page 9-75
