Use the Address Range Alias
For example, if an ACL defines a pool of network addresses as 192.168.10.10 through 192.168.10.100 for an entire network,
and a remote location's network range is 172.16.13.20 through 172.16.13.110, the remote location's ACL can be overridden
using an alias. At the remote location, the ACL works with the 172.16.13.20-110 address range. A new ACL need not be
created specifically for the remote deployment location.

network DNS server is set a static IP address, and a remote location's local DNS server is defined, this host can be
overridden at the remote location. At the remote location, the network is functional with a local DNS server, but uses the
name set at the central network. A new host need not be created at the remote location. This simplifies creating and
managing hosts and allows an administrator to better manage specific local requirements

Use the Network Alias
if a central network ACL defines a network as 192.168.10.0/24, and a remote location's network range is 172.16.10.0/24,
the ACL can be overridden at the remote location to suit their local (but remote) requirement. At the remote location, the
ACL functions with the 172.16.10.0/24 network. A new ACL need not be created specifically for the remote deployment.
This simplifies ACL definition and allows an administrator to better manage specific local requirements.
