What is the hex number at the end of an access-list?

Mar 14, 2007 5 Replies

for example:



show access-list aclOUT



access-list aclOUT line 15 extended permit icmp any host 10.255.255.1 echo-reply (hitcnt=2) 0x2ae70942



What is the hex value at the end (ios is 7.2)?



Thanks, Chris



I've looked all over and can't find the answer to your question. The

0x can be discarded, and the hex behind it shows up in a bunch of ACL logs and debugs, and fluctuates. Could be a hex reference for the acl, or the traffic...I get the impression it is an identifier for something that doesn't matter to us engineers.......

I welcome someone who may have a better guess or may know, but would guess its not useful since I can't find any information regarding the syntax or meaning.

That would be both pix and asa v 7.x that do this, I have noticed. could it be the syslog number in hex ?

Are you sure it's IOS 7.2? It looks more like PixOS...

Cheers, Lars

My PIX 515 mit 6.3(3) and my 501 with 6.3(5) don't show this hex number at the end.

Yes, sorry it's PIX OS 7.2. Was just curius because it wasn't on 6.3 before I upgraded.
