Adding or deleting a comment

You can add or delete comments to an ACL entry.
Numbered ACLs: adding a comment

2. To add the comment "Permit all users" to the second entry in the list, enter a command such as
3. Enter the filter "permit any". For example:
4. Enter a show access-list command displays the following:
Syntax: [no] access-list <acl-num> remark <comment-text>
Simply entering access-list <acl-num> remark <comment-text> adds a remark to the next ACL
entry you create.
The remark <comment-text> adds a comment to the ACL entry. The remark can have up to 128
characters. The comment must be entered separately from the actual ACL entry; that is, you cannot
enter the ACL entry and the ACL comment with the same command. Also, in order for the remark to
be displayed correctly in the output of show commands, the comment must be entered
immediately before the ACL entry it describes.
