Adding Remarks to Access Lists
You can include remarks about entries in any access list, including extended, EtherType, IPv6, standard,
and Webtype access lists. The remarks make the access list easier to understand.
To add a remark after the last access-list command you entered, enter the following command:
Example
You can add a remark before each ACE, and the remarks appear in the access lists in these location.
Entering a dash (-) at the beginning of a remark helps to set it apart from an ACE.
hostname(config)# access-list OUT remark - this is the inside admin address
hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.3 any
hostname(config)# access-list OUT remark - this is the hr admin address
hostname(config)# access-list OUT extended permit ip host 209.168.200.4 any
What to Do Next
Apply the access list to an interface. See the
“Configuring Access Rules” section on page 34-7
for more
information.
