The comments in the chunk as posted made it pretty clear that one part
was for Apache 2.2 and one for 2.4.

   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
   # Apache 2.4
   <RequireAll>
  ## Require valid-user
   Require all granted
   <RequireAny>
   Require local
   </RequireAny>
   </RequireAll>
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
   # Apache 2.2
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
  ## allow from 127.0.0.1
  allow from all
  ## allow from ::1
  ## require valid-user
   require all granted
  </IfModule>

I assume that is to let the same config work with either version with
the default restriction to localhost.   But if you want to allow
access from remote clients you have to edit the part that matches your
system (inside the right IfModule block).
