ip preserve-acl-user-input-format

Preserves the user input format for ACL configuration.
Syntax
ip preserve-acl-user-input-format
no ip preserve-acl-user-input-format
Command Default

ACL implementations automatically display the TCP or UDP port name instead of the port number.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

When the option to preserve user input is enabled, the system displays either the port name or the number as used during configuration.

The no form of the command removes the user input perseverance configuration.

Examples

The following example shows the behavior when the option to preserve user input is enabled. In this example, the TCP port is configured by number (80) when configuring ACL group acl140. However, show ip access-lists acl140 reverts to the port name for the TCP port (HTTP in this example). When the ip preserve-acl-user-input-format command is configured, the show ip access-lists command displays either the TCP port number or name, depending on how it was configured by the user.

device(config)# ip access-list extended acl140 
device(config-ext ipacl-acl140)# permit tcp any any eq 80
device(config-ext ipacl-acl140)# permit tcp any any eq ftp
device(config-ext ipacl-acl140)# show ip access-lists acl140
Extended IP access list acl140
permit tcp any any eq http
permit tcp any any eq ftp

device(config-ext ipacl-acl140)# ip preserve-ACL-user-input-format
device(config-ext ipacl-acl140)# show ip access-lists acl140
Extended IP access list acl140
permit tcp any any eq 80
permit tcp any any eq ftp
