Dell PowerEdge FN I/O Module Configuration Guide 9.10(0.0)

Example of Resequencing ACLs When Remarks and Rules Have the Same Number

The example shows the resequencing of an IPv4 access-list beginning with the number 2 and incrementing by 2.

Remarks and rules that originally have the same sequence number have the same sequence number after you apply the resequence command.

Remarks that do not have a corresponding rule are incremented as a rule. These two mechanisms allow remarks to retain their original position in the list. The following example shows remark 10 corresponding 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.
