ip access-list {standard | extended} name
no ip access-list {standard | extended} name
Caution: Named access lists will not be recognized by any software release prior to Cisco IOS Release 11.2.
Syntax Description

There is no named IP access list.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.2.
Use this command to configure a named IP access list as opposed to a numbered IP access list. This command will take you into access-list configuration mode, where you must define the denied or permitted access conditions with the deny and permit commands.
Specifying standard or extended with the ip access-list command determines the prompt you get when you enter access-list configuration mode.
Use the ip access-group command to apply the access-list to an interface.
Named access lists are not compatible with Cisco IOS releases prior to Release 11.2.
Example
The following example defines a standard access list named Internetfilter:
ip access-list standard Internetfilter permit 192.5.34.0 0.0.0.255 permit 128.88.0.0 0.0.255.255 permit 36.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 ! (Note: all other access implicitly denied)
