Hi Techs,,

Output of below command on ASA shows 1358 in use, & 4610 Most used,

how to interpret this,, is it 1358 active connections OR 4610 are the active connections ASA is handaling.

1358 in use, 4610 most used

Thanks.

Current connection count is 1358, the maximum we saw is 4610

Thanks Marcin,

so if i clear the conn... then the most used value would be max conn seen after the clear right, or it would be max conn seen so far...

Thanks.

"clear conn" should clear current connections.

Max connections stays intact.

bsns-asa5505-19# sh conn
0 in use, 7 most used
bsns-asa5505-19# clear conn
0 connection(s) deleted.
bsns-asa5505-19# sh conn
0 in use, 7 most used
