Hi,

This happens when i try and add a new ACL. Yet it says it has used only 75% anyone come accross this.

Regards

Kev

Please can you post the error message.

Usually the message that you talking about is just indicating how much of the maximum ressources you have allready used. In your case you still have 25% of the maximum possible ACLs free of 75% of it used.

Do you use single or multiple context mode.

If you are in multi context mode then type the following command and post the result :

enable

changeto context system

show resource acl-partition

Usually you have totaly limit, for the whole FWSM balde, of 150k ACLs.

Even if you split it to 12 (default) patitions then you have quit a lot of ACL.

150k / 12 = 12,5k ACLs. of each partitions and all firewalls in that partition.

Note: Remove confidential informations.

The Software Version is FWSM Firewall Version 2.3(1)7

FWSM Device Manager Version 4.1(2)

The Error message is ERROR: Unable to add, access-list config limit reached.

I suspect this is a book in the software version on the FWSM.

Cheers
