[c-nsp] Problem with paste large ACLs

[Robert Holtz]

You would probably want to push it to the start up config first so that you
can check for any syntactical issues and what not.  Then do the "copy start
run" command.

Shooting it directly at the running config is a very dangerous thing to do
on a production system.
