Configure Filters with a Sequence Number
To create a filter for packets with a specified sequence number, follow these steps, starting in 
CONFIGURATION mode: 
When you create the filters with a specific sequence number, you can create the filters in any order and the 
filters are placed in the correct order. 
Figure 5-10 shows how the 
seq command orders the filters according to the sequence number assigned. In 
the example, filter 15 was configured before filter 5, but the 
show config command displays the filters in the 
correct order.

Configure Filters Without a Sequence Number
If you are creating an extended ACL with only one or two filters, you can let FTOS assign a sequence 
number based on the order in which the filters are configured. FTOS assigns filters in multiples of 5.

CONFIGURATION  Enter the IP ACCESS LIST mode by creating 
an extended IP ACL.

[count [byte]] [order] [fragments]
CONFIG-EXT-NACL Configure a drop or forward filter.
Note: When assigning sequence numbers to filters, you might need to insert a new filter. To 
prevent reconfiguring multiple filters, assign sequence numbers in multiples of five or another 
number.
