Delete an Access List
Complete these steps in order to delete an access list:
Before you delete an existing access list, you need to delete the access list entries (the access rules). It
is not possible to delete the access list unless you first delete all of the access rules.
Right−click the access rule to be deleted, and choose Delete.
1.
Complete the same Delete operation on all the existing access rules, and then select the access list and
choose Delete in order to delete it.
2.
Export the Access Rule
ASDM access rules bind the access list with the respective interface while ACL Manager tracks all extended
access lists. The access rules that are created with the ACL Manager do not bind to any interface. These
access lists are generally used for the purpose of NAT−Exempt, VPN−Filter and similar other functions where
there is no association with the interface. ACL Manager contains all the entries that you have in the
Configuration > Firewall > Access Rules section. In addition, ACL Manager does also contain the global
access rules that are not associated to any interface. ASDM is organized in such a way that you can export an
access rule from any access list to another one with ease.
For example, if you need an access rule that is already a part of a global access rule to be associated with an
interface, you do not need to configure that again. Instead, you can perform a Cut & Paste operation to
achieve this.
Right−click the specified access rule, and choose Cut.1.
