I was reading Sybex's old ACRC book. One of the study questions, as well as
a tip in the chapter indicate that the IOS will reorder an access list to
make more sense.
For example, an access list entered as:
access-list 1 deny 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 deny 172.16.30.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 permit 172.16.40.0 0.0.0.255
would be re-ordered as :
access-list 1 permit 172.16.40.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 deny 172.16.20.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 deny 172.16.30.0 0.0.0.255
I played around a bit and could not confirm this. show ip access list showed
the access-list exactly as I entered it.
I had always thought that IOS would never re-arrange the list, no matter how
stupid it was entered.
Am I on crack or is the book wrong?
