Usage guidelines

The rule numbering step sets the increment by which the system numbers rules automatically. For example, the default ACL rule numbering step is 5. If you do not assign IDs to rules you are creating, they are numbered 0, 5, 10, 15, and so on. The wider the numbering step, the more rules you can insert between two rules. Whenever the step changes, the rules are renumbered, starting from 0. For example, if there are five rules numbered 5, 10, 13, 15, and 20, changing the step from 5 to 2 causes the rules to be renumbered 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Examples

# Set the rule numbering step to 2 for IPv4 basic ACL 2000.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] acl number 2000
[Sysname-acl-basic-2000] step 2
