Cisco Access Control Lists

Greetings experts...
I have a Cisco WS-C4503 switch that currently has ip multicast-routing enabled along with the following in the Access Control List:

Extended IP access list system-cpp-all-routers-on-subnet
    10 permit ip any host 224.0.0.2
Extended IP access list system-cpp-all-systems-on-subnet
    10 permit ip any host 224.0.0.1
Extended IP access list system-cpp-dhcp-cs
    10 permit udp any eq bootpc any eq bootps
Extended IP access list system-cpp-dhcp-sc
    10 permit udp any eq bootps any eq bootpc
Extended IP access list system-cpp-dhcp-ss
    10 permit udp any eq bootps any eq bootps
Extended IP access list system-cpp-energywise-disc
    10 permit udp any eq any eq 0

We wish to disable the routing and delete the entries from the ACL.
I believe that by using the command: no ip multicast-routing will turn off the routing. I am not at all clear on how to remove the entries in the ACL.
A different router is going to be installed upstream of this switch so the routing and ACLs on the switch will no longer be needed.

What is the most efficient and proper way of going about cleaning up the ACLs an this switch?

Thanks!

Disabling multicast routing on a router (or a switch that is routing) will not disable IP Routing. It WILL disable IP Multicast Routing.
Also,
Un-applying an ACL will effectively disable it. Also, removing each list in this case would disable them. I would see where the ACLs are applied.

Hi Timothy
Ok, I understand my error with the IP routing and the IP multicast routing. Here is the IP routing command that is currently on the switch:  ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.254.254

​​I am not sure how to verify where the ACLs are applied. ​​​

-Bob
ACLs are typically applied to interfaces (either physical or virtual) with the access-group command.
Here is a snippet from the switch:

Svr-SW4503#show access-group mode
Interface TenGigabitEthernet1/1:
   Access group mode is: Prefer Port
Interface TenGigabitEthernet1/2:
   Access group mode is: Prefer Port


-Bob
That output isn't related to ACLs.
Try show run | i access-group

Svr-SW4503#show run | i access-group
Svr-SW4503#

Looks like the ACL's are not applied?

-Bob
It would appear that you are correct and the ACLs exist but they are not applied. 
Timothy..
In that case, might I presume that leaving the ACL's in place will not do any harm?
We just want to make sure that when the new router is put into service there is nothing lurking on this switch that might rear its ugly head to make our life miserable.
The original folks that set up this section of the network up no longer exist here and there are no notes or bread crumbs left to figure out what was going on when this switch was put into service.

-Bob


Make sure you have a backup of your config. Not just in this case, in every case.
If the ACLs are not applied, they will have NO effect. Leaving them will only have the effect of annoying you everytime you do a "show run". :D
That I can assure you I have....
Been making copies of the configs on all our Cisco switches now.
I can learn to live with the ACL's in place...
As for the IP routing...leave that alone as well or would I be better off turning that off?

I understand, in this instance I believe that I will be able to turn off IP routing with out any negative issues popping up. All the devices, servers, PCs, semi-intelligent controls, in this install use only one VLAN to communicate among themselves. The new router will handle any communications between this VLAN and the back office VLAN.
Thank you for the assistance and the new commands.
As always I learned something new!
