Hi there,
Is there any possibility to delete with only one command ALL address lists present into the firewall?

Re: Delete all firewall address-list with one command
not connections, but all address list entryDo mean connections?
Re: Delete all firewall address-list with one command
This should do and its close to the command in the other post I did posted.
Take care, this deletes all entries from all lists.
To delete one list, do this:
Code: Select all
/ip firewall address-list remove [find]To delete one list, do this:
Code: Select all
/ip firewall address-list remove [find where list=your_list]-

Re: Delete all firewall address-list with one command
Hello and thanks for your answer.
I tried both your command
Last test I did:
Many times I got this error:
no such item (4)
I've noticed that using this command not ALL IPs of that address-list were deleted.
Each time I repeat the same command, new IPs were deleted.
Is it my fault?
I'm using 6.42.11 version

Still having this probelm even with 6.44.6
Code: Select all
no such item (4)Re: Delete all firewall address-list with one command
Code: Select all
:do { /ip firewall address-list remove [find where list="TEST-IP"] } on-error={}This will ignore the no such item.
I hope that you are using a more recent release of RouterOS and don't forget to make backups from your configuration.

Thanks for your kind answer
This code is still not deleting all address lists
Most of the entries remains after entering the command

Re: Delete all firewall address-list with one command
The issue is command scope.
If you run the command under "/" (command root scope) find will run there.
You either need to specify scope, or enter the "/ip firewall address-list" scope.

As lines in script?:
Code: Select all
/ip firewall address-list
do: { remove [find] } on-error={}Re: Delete all firewall address-list with one command
You don't need to do error handling on address list removal.
If you want to remove ALL entries rather than just entries from a single list, simply do:

Last command seems work better but some entries are not deleted.

This is because you have some dns-based entried in your list.
These create dynamic address-list entries that normally can't be deleted.
Here is a command that takes that into account:
Code: Select all
/ip firewall address-list
remove [find dynamic=no]
Dynamic entries are automatically deleted when their "parent" dns-based entry is deleted.
That should sort it out for you.

IT WORKS!
I've used this command on a single line
It delete ALL 1200 address list (even dynamic) without any error.
Thanks!!

Re: Delete all firewall address-list with one command
For a single line you need to use
Otherwise this will not work if you execute it from root context "/".
Code: Select all
/ip firewall address-list remove [/ip firewall address-list find dynamic=no]
Otherwise this will not work if you execute it from root context "/".
