This command is a prerequisite to entering or editing ACEs in a named ACL.

Syntax

ip access-list standard <name-str>

Places the CLI in the "Named ACL" (nacl) context specified by the <name-str> alphanumeric identifier. This enables entry of individual ACEs in the specified ACL. If the ACL does not already exist, this command creates it.

<name–str>: Specifies an identifier for the ACL. Consists of an alphanumeric string of up to 64 case-sensitive characters. Including spaces in the string requires that you enclose the string in single or double quotes. For example: Accounting ACL.
