copy tftp running-config <tftp-ip-addr> <filename>

NOTE

This command will be unsuccessful if you place any commands other than access-list and end
(at the end only) in the file. These are the only commands that are valid in a file you load using
the copy tftp running-config… command.

7. To save the changes to the device’s startup-config file, enter the following command at the

Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.

NOTE

Do not place other commands in the file. The device reads only the ACL information in the file
and ignores other commands, including commands. To assign ACLs to interfaces, use the CLI.

2. To add the comment "Permit all users" to the second entry in the list, enter a command such as

the following.

BigIron RX(config)# access-list 99 remark Permit all users

3. Enter the filter “permit any”. For example:

BigIron RX(config-std-nacl)# permit any

4. Enter a show access-list command displays the following:

BigIron RX(config-std-nacl)# show access-list 99

Standard IP access-list 99

deny host 1.2.4.5

permit host 5.6.7.8
