Creating or Editing ACLs Offline
Creating or Editing ACLs Offline
The section titled “Editing an Existing ACL” on page 8-63 describes how to
use the CLI to edit an ACL, and is most applicable in cases where the ACL is
short or there is only a minor editing task to perform. The offline method
provides a useful alternative to using the CLI for creating or extensively editing
a large ACL.This section describes how to:
■ move an existing ACL to a TFTP server
■ use a text (.txt) file format to create a new ACL or edit an existing
ACL offline
■ use TFTP to load an offline ACL into the switch’s running-config
For longer ACLs that may be difficult or time-consuming to accurately create
or edit in the CLI, you can use the offline method described in this section.
N o t e Beginning with software release K_12_XX, copy commands that used either
tftp or xmodem, also include an option to use usb as a source or destination
device for file transfers. So although the following example highlights tftp,
remember that
xmodem or usb can also be used to transfer ACLs to and from
the switch.
Creating or Editing an ACL Offline
The Offline Process
1. Begin by doing one of the following:
• To edit one or more existing ACLs, use copy command-output tftp to
copy the current version of the ACL configuration to a file in your
TFTP server. For example, to copy the ACL configuration to a file
named
acl-001.txt in the TFTP directory on a server at FE80::2a1:200.
ProCurve# copy command-output 'show access-list
config' tftp fe80::2a1:200 acl-001.txt pc
• To create a new ACL, open a text (.txt) file in the appropriate directory
on a TFTP server accessible to the switch.
2. Use a text editor to create or edit the ACL(s) in the *.txt ASCII file format.
