Cisco – How to add ACL entry comments on a Cisco 3750

aclciscocisco-catalyst

I'm trying to find the best way to add comments into my access-lists. For the moment, the only manner I found is the following one:

switch#conf t
switch(config)#ip access-list extended VLAN-TEST3
switch(config-ext-nacl)#remark first remark
switch(config-ext-nacl)#10 permit ip any any
switch(config-ext-nacl)#remark second remark
switch(config-ext-nacl)#20 deny ip any any
switch(config-ext-nacl)#remark third remark

But by using this, I'm unable to see the comments with the command sh ip access-list VLAN-TEST3 they appear only when I do a sh run (which isn't the most practical to see an ACL). I also cannot specify a number of lines for the remark and I can't modify/delete them.

What is the best way to do that? I'm using a Cisco 3750

Cisco does not provide any other way see view access lists remarks besides viewing them from the running configuration.

The lines containing remark statements are not numbered so they are ignored when running show ip access-list

You can filter the running config output and display only the section regarding to access-lists like this:

show running-config | section ip access-list
