Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)
– 1873 –
neighbor prefix-list This command configures prefix restrictions applied in inbound/outbound
route updates to/from specified neighbors. Use the no form to remove the
neighbor binding for a prefix list.
SYNTAX
neighbor {ip-address | group-name} prefix-list list-name {in | out}
no neighbor {ip-address | group-name} prefix-list {in | out}
ip-address – IP address of a neighbor.
group-name – A BGP peer group containing a list of neighboring
routers configured with the neighbor peer-group command.
list-name – Name of a prefix-list. The prefix list can be used to filter
the networks to import or export. (Range: 1-80 characters)
in – Filter inbound routing updates.
out – Filter outbound routing updates.
COMMAND MODE
Router Configuration
DEFAULT SETTING
No prefix list restrictions are configured.
COMMAND USAGE
◆ First, configure a prefix list with the ip prefix-list command, and then
use this command to specify the neighbors to which it applies, and
whether it applies to inbound or outbound messages.
◆ Filtering routes based on a prefix list searches for entries matching the
router specified by this command. If a match is found and the entry is
configured to permit the route, the route will be imported or exported
as defined by this command. An empty prefix list permits all prefixes. If
a prefix does not match any entries in a list, the route is denied. When
multiple entries in the list match a prefix, the entry with the smallest
sequence number is used.
◆ The search starts at the top of the prefix list. Once an entry matches,
the router stops searching. To reduce the load on system resources, the
most commonly used entries should be placed at the top of the list.
