hit counts against object group objects

[Kevin Melton]

When the command "sho access-list" is performed, it allows the admin to see what hit counts have occured against each line within an Access-list statement. However it does not show a hit count with reference to object groups in the ACL.

How can one display the hit counts for the items in the object group(s)?

Thanks

sh run access-list "name" will display the the access-list as it exists in the config.

sh access-list "name" will display the full access list including the exploded object-groups and includes the line number they correspond to in the ACL.

For example, if line 13 has an object group in it... when you do sh access-l "name" you will see multiple instance of "line 13" with a "hitcnt=X" at the end of each object group entry.

Like such:

access-list outside_acl line 13 extended permit tcp object-group XXX_Ent_Monitoring object-group Ent_Monitoring eq 17000 0xd22e53d4

access-list outside_acl line 13 extended permit tcp host 10.182.31.60 host 172.19.6.91 eq 17000 (hitcnt=0) 0xf48c6831

Hi Guys,

I´d like to expand the question... I`m using in an ACL on an IOS-Device (15.5.3) an object-group Service in the ACE - but in comparison to an ASA when issuing the "Show ip access-list" Output, not each Service Statement is showing up! Is there something I`ve done wrong or I´ve forgotten in my config? OR is this not possible at all?!

e.g.

IOS:

object-group service OBJ-SERVICE_TEST-IOS

tcp-udp eq 102

!

ip access-list extended ACL_TEST-IOS

permit object-group OBJ-SERVICE_TEST-IOS any any

!

IOS#sh ip access-lists ACL_TEST-IOS

Extended IP access list ACL_TEST-IOS

   10 permit object-group OBJ-SERVICE_TEST-IOS any any (10 matches)

      +++ ONLY ONE LINE

ASA:

object-group service OBJ-SERVICE_TEST-ASA tcp-udp

port-object eq 102

!

access-list TEST_ACL-ASA extended permit object-group OBJ-SERVICE_TEST-ASA any4 any4

!

ASA# sh access-list

access-list TEST_ACL-ASA line 1 extended permit object-group OBJ-SERVICE_TEST-ASA any4 any4 (hitcnt=10)

access-list TEST_ACL-ASA line 1 extended permit tcp any4 any4 eq 102 (hitcnt=5)

access-list TEST_ACL-ASA line 1 extended permit udp any4 any4 eq 102 (hitcnt=5)

+++ AN ENTRY ALSO FOR EACH SERVICE - TCP/UDP +++

gr, Dan
