Parameters

source-acl-number: Specifies an existing source ACL by its number:

name source-acl-name: Specifies an existing source ACL by its name. The source-acl-name argument is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. For a basic ACL or advanced ACL, if you do not specify the ipv6 keyword, this option specifies the name of an IPv4 basic ACL or advanced ACL; if you specify the ipv6 keyword, this option specifies the name of an IPv6 basic ACL or advanced ACL.

dest-acl-number: Assigns a unique number to the ACL you are creating. This number must be from the same ACL category as the source ACL. If no ACL number is specified, the system automatically picks the smallest number from all available numbers in the same ACL category as the source ACL. Available value ranges include:

name dest-acl-name: Assigns a unique name to the ACL you are creating. The dest-acl-name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. It must start with an English letter and to avoid confusion, it cannot be all. If no ACL name is specified, the system does not name the ACL. For a basic ACL or advanced ACL, if you do not specify the ipv6 keyword, this option specifies the name of an IPv4 basic ACL or advanced ACL; if you specify the ipv6 keyword, this option specifies the name of an IPv6 basic ACL or advanced ACL.

Usage guidelines

The new ACL has the same properties and content as the source ACL, but not the same ACL number and name.

You can assign a name to an ACL only when you create it. After an ACL is created with a name, you cannot rename it or remove its name.

Examples

# Create IPv4 basic ACL 2002 by copying IPv4 basic ACL 2001.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] acl copy 2001 to 2002
