What IOS release permits the COMMENT statement

Mar 23, 2006 3 Replies

Read sopmplase that some IOS release allowed the use of a COMMENT statement to increase documentation beyond the Description statement.



Anyone know of such, and at what release it is included?



Thanx I advance Wm king


As far as I know, the comment is "!" You can put anything you want in a config file after a !.

But it is only for off-line programming, once read into the router, all !'s are ignored.

Are you thiking about the ACL 'remark' config statement?

ip access-list extended block_it_all remark let through DNS permit udp any host 10.10.10.1 eq 53 permit tcp any host 10.10.10.1 eq 53 remark next... ....

I think its 12.3 in general for the remark ACL statement, and backported to some of the other lines (ie. 12.1 switch IOS for certain platforms).

Note that "remark" statments are not supported in the new line number based ACL editor.

conf t ip access-l e 101 no 15

etc.
