# Numbered ACLs With Subcommands

You've learned that numbered ACLs are configured in global config mode

```
R1(config)# access-list 1 deny 192.168.1.1
R1(config)# access-list 1 permit any
```

You also learned that named ACLs are configured with subcommands in a separate config mode:

```
R1(config)# ip access-list standard BLOCK_PC1
R1(config-std-nacl)# deny 192.168.1.1
R1(config-std-nacl)# permit any
```

However, in modern IOS you can also configured numbered ACLs in the exat same way as named ACLS

```
R1(config)# ip access-list standard 1
R1(config-std-nacl)# deny 192.168.1.1
R1(config-std-nacl)# permit any
```

This is just a different way of configuring numbered ACLs. However, in the running-config the ACL will display as if it was configured using the traditional method.

## Advantages of named ACL config mode

* You can easily delete individual entries in the ACL with `no <entry-number>`

{% hint style="info" %}
When configuring/editing numbered ACLS from global config mode, **you can't delete individual entries, you can only delete the entire ACL!**
{% endhint %}

* You can insert new entries in between other entries by specifying the sequence number.
