Resequencing an ACL or Prefix List
Resequencing is available for IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs and prefix lists and MAC ACLs. To resequence an
ACL or prefix list use the appropriate command in Table 6-5. You must specify the list name, starting
number, and increment when using these commands.
Figure 6-19 shows the resequencing of an IPv4 access-list beginning with the number 2 and incrementing
by 2.
Figure 6-19. Resequencing ACLs
Remarks and rules that originally have the same sequence number have the same sequence number after
the
resequence command is applied. Remarks that do not have a corresponding rule will be incremented as
a rule. These two mechanisms allow remarks to retain their original position in the list.
For example, in Figure 6-20, remark 10 corresponds to rule 10 and as such they have the same number
before and after the command is entered. Remark 4 is incremented as a rule, and all rules have retained
their original positions.
