delete access-list entries????

Probably a simple answer.

How do I delete an entry within an access list without deleting the whole access-list and having to type it all in again?

cheers

Simple answer is you can't.

However you could copy the access list part of the config into a text editor on your PC, and delete the entries you nedd to be rid of. Then delete the whole access list (no access-list......)from the router and re-enter the amended access list by copy and paste from your PC.

Sounds like a faff, but it will save some typing with a long list.

Damn.

A bit silly of Cisco not to allow you to delete only certain entries.

You can supposedly do that with named access-list.

u can actually do that with named extended access lists.. however, the last entry u make will be at the bottom of the list, so be sure to have them in right, as the router reads each line by line, till a match is found, and the list is not read any further..

u should always remember that there's an implicit deny at the end of each access list, so unless u want your interface shutdown, remember to permit any other traffic to/from the internet..

good luck..
