Cisco asa 5510 ERROR: Cannot add policy to rule engine

[DavidReisner]

Hello,

I am trying to add 89,462+ access list rules to an ASA 5510 running 8.2(5). I have added all the rules to an object group and when I try to apply the access list to an interface it gives me the foolowing error:

ERROR: Cannot add policy to rule engine

ERROR: Unable to assign access-list wan-out to interface wan

I have not tried not using an object group and just putting the rules in the access list. I want to be able to add to these rules if needed easily.

I think it's clear that i have exceeded the rule limit for the ASA. So my question is, what is the rule limit for an ASA 5510 and which ASA could I purchase that would handle this amount of rules?

Any help would be appreaciated.

Thanks

The problem might be that the unit is running out of memory, an upgrade will let you add more rules.
