If you want to forward all routes that do not match the prefix list criteria, you must configure a prefix list
filter to permit all routes (
permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32). The “permit all” filter should be the last filter in your
prefix list. To permit the default route only, enter
permit 0.0.0.0/0.
Figure 7-18 shows how the
seq command orders the filters according to the sequence number assigned. In
the example, filter 20 was configured before filter 15 and 12, but the
show config command displays the
filters in the correct order.
Figure 7-18. Command Example: seq
Note the last line in the prefix list “juba” contains a “permit all” statement. By including this line in a
prefix list, you specify that all routes not matching any criteria in the prefix list are forwarded.
To delete a filter, use the
no seq sequence-number command in the PREFIX LIST mode.
If you are creating a standard prefix list with only one or two filters, you can let Dell Networking OS
assign a sequence number based on the order in which the filters are configured. The Dell Networking OS
assigns filters in multiples of five.
To configure a filter without a specified sequence number, use these commands in the following sequence
starting in the CONFIGURATION mode:
Figure 7-19 shows a prefix list in which the sequence numbers were assigned by the software. The filters
were assigned sequence numbers based on the order in which they were configured (for example, the first
filter was given the lowest sequence number). The
show config command in the PREFIX LIST mode
displays the two filters with the sequence numbers 5 and 10.

CONFIG-NPREFIXL Create a prefix list filter with a deny or
permit action. The optional parameters are:
• ge min-prefix-length: is the minimum
prefix length to be matched (0 to 32).
• le max-prefix-length: is the maximum
prefix length to be matched (0 to 32).
