Reference Guide
For example, in 112.24.0.0/16, the rst 16 bits of the address 112.24.0.0 match all addresses between 112.24.0.0 to
112.24.255.255. Use permit or deny lters for specic routes with the le (less or equal) and ge (greater or equal) parameters, where
x.x.x.x/x represents a route prex:
• To deny only /8 prexes, enter deny x.x.x.x/x ge 8 le 8
• To permit routes with the mask greater than /8 but less than /12, enter permit x.x.x.x/x ge 8 le 12
• To deny routes with a mask less than /24, enter deny x.x.x.x/x le 24
• To permit routes with a mask greater than /20, enter permit x.x.x.x/x ge 20
The following rules apply to prex-lists:
• A prex-list without permit or deny lters allows all routes
• An “implicit deny” is assumed — the route drops for all route prexes that do not match a permit or deny lter
• After a route matches a lter, the lter’s action applies and no additional lters apply to the route
Use prex-lists in processing routes for routing protocols such as OSPF, RTM, and BGP.
To congure a prex-list, use commands in PREFIX-LIST and ROUTER-BGP modes. Create the prex-list in PREFIX-LIST mode and assign
that list to commands in ROUTER-BGP modes.
Route-maps
Route-maps a series of commands that contain a matching criterion and action. They change the packets meeting the matching criterion.
ACLs and prex-lists can only drop or forward the packet or trac while route-maps process routes for route redistribution. For example,
use a route-map to lter only specic routes and to add a metric.
• Route-maps also have an implicit deny. Unlike ACLs and prex-lists where the packet or trac is dropped, if a route does not match the
route-map conditions, the route is not redistributed.
• Route-maps process routes for route redistribution. For example, to add a metric, a route-map can lter only specic routes. If the route
does not match the conditions, the route-map decides where the packet or trac drops. The route is not redistributed if it does not
match.
• Route-maps use commands to decide what to do with trac. To remove the match criteria in a route-map, use the no match
command.
• In a BGP route-map, if you repeat the same match statements; for example, a match metric, with dierent values in the same sequence
number, only the last match and set values are taken into account.
