Deleting an ACL Rule

An ACL rule or range of rules can be deleted using the delete command.

The following example displays an extended L3 ACL 120 and deletes and deletes entries 2 and 3:

System(rw-config)->ip access-list extended 120
System(rw-cfg-ext-acl)->show access-lists 120
Extended IP access list 120  (5 entries)
  1 deny   ip  20.0.0.1  0.0.255.255  any
  2 deny   ip  30.0.0.1  0.0.255.255  any
  3 deny   ip  40.0.0.1  0.0.255.255  any
  4 permit ip  any  any
  -- implicit deny all --
System(rw-cfg-ext-acl)->delete from 2 to 3
System(rw-cfg-ext-acl)->show access-lists 120
Extended IP access list 120  (3 entries)
  1 deny   ip  20.0.0.1  0.0.255.255  any
  2 permit ip  any  any
  -- implicit deny all --

The following example enters configuration mode for standard IPv6 access list acl2 and deletes rule entry 10 - 12:

System(rw-config)->ipv6 access-list standard acl2
System(rw-cfg-ipv6-std-acl)->delete from 10 to 12
System(rw-cfg-ipv6-std-acl)->

The following example enters configuration mode for the L2 ACL list2 and deletes rule entry 10:

System(rw-config)->l2 access-list list2
System(rw-cfg-l2-acl)->delete 10
System(rw-cfg-l2-acl)->
