NETGEAR M4500 Series Switches CLI Command Reference Manual 730
Default No prefix lists are configured by default. When neither the ge nor the le option is configured, the
destination prefix must match the network/length exactly. If the ge option is configured without the
le option, any prefix with a network mask greater than or equal to the ge value is considered a match.
Similarly, if the le option is configured without the ge option, a prefix with a network mask less than
or equal to the le value is considered a match.
Mode Global Config
6.9.2.3. ip prefix-list description
To apply a text description to a prefix list, use the ip prefix-list description command in Global Configuration
mode.

seq number
(Optional) The sequence number for this prefix list statement. Prefix list
statements are ordered from lowest sequence number to highest and applied in
that order. If you do not specify a sequence number, the system will
automatically select a sequence number five larger than the last sequence
number in the list. Two statements may not be configured with the same
sequence number. The value ranges from 1 to 4,294,967,294.
permit
Permit routes whose destination prefix matches the statement.
deny
Deny routes whose destination prefix matches the statement.
prefix/length
Specifies the match criteria for routes being compared to the prefix list
statement. The network can be any valid IP prefix. The length is any IPv4 prefix
length from 0 to 32.
ge length
(Optional) If this option is configured, then a prefix is only considered a match if
its network mask length is greater than or equal to this value. This value must
be longer than the network length and less than or equal to 32.
le length
(Optional) If this option is configured, then a prefix is only considered a match if
its network mask length is less than or equal to this value. This value must be
longer than the ge length and less than or equal to 32.
<renumber-interval>
<first-statement-number>
(Optional) Provides the option to renumber the sequence numbers of the IP
prefix list statements with a given interval starting from a particular sequence
number. The valid range for renumber-interval is 1 - 100, and the valid range for
first-statement-number is 1 - 1000.
