clear access-list command syntax?

[johndennison]

hello all. running 7.2(2) on an ASA5510. in the Cisco documentation here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa72/command/reference/c1_72.html#wp2032432

it seems to indicate that you can clear the counters on all your access-lists simultaneously with the clear access-list counters command, and that specifying a particular access-list ID is optional, however, in my ASA this does not seem to be the case, as i am forced to specify an access-list name. is this just a discrepancy in the documentation, am i misinterpreting it, or is there a way to actually accomplish this?

thanks for your time.

I would say that is an error in documentation. I see no way of clearing ALL counters. I checked a couple of my firewalls (different versions) and I can only clear an ACL at a time.

#clear access-list inside_acl counters

HTH and please rate.

you can also use

clear counters

system will prompt you to confirm if you want do do all.
