The best use of this command is one that I think is very important in the
lab. If you ever configure an access list in the lab, put the "deny all"
statement with the log keyword at the end. If traffic tries to come through
on a certain protocol, like 47, or on a port, like 2065, you will get an
error message. This way you don't need to remember all those ports and
protocol numbers. I don't know about you, but I can't remember all those
numbers! Try it in your lab it works great.

It will prevent anyone from adding to the access-list without first
deleting it.
