16.61 neighbor prefix-list

Use this command to distribute BGP neighbor information as specified in a prefix list.

Use the no parameter with this command to remove an entry.

Command Syntax

(no) neighbor NEIGHBORID prefix-list LISTNAME in|out

NEIGHBORID = A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|TAG

A.B.C.D Specifies the address of the BGP neighbor in IPv4 format.

X:X::X:X Specifies the address of the BGP neighbor in IPv6 format.

TAG Name of an existing peer-group.

For information on how to create peer groups, refer to the neighbor peer-group and neighbor remote-as

commands. When this parameter is used

with a command, the command applies on all peers in the specified group.

LISTNAME The number of an AS-path access list.

in Specifies that the access list applies to incoming advertisements.

out Specifies that the access list applies to outgoing advertisements.

Command Mode

Router mode and Address Family mode

Usage

Use this command to specify a prefix list for filtering BGP advertisements. Filtering by prefix list matches the

prefixes of routes with those listed in the prefix list. If there is a match, the route is used. An empty prefix list

permits all prefixes. If a given prefix does not match any entries of a prefix list, the route is denied access.

When multiple entries of a prefix list match a prefix, the entry with the smallest sequence number is

considered to be a real match.

The router begins the search at the top of the prefix list, with the sequence number 1. Once a match or deny

occurs, the router does not need to go through the rest of the prefix list. For efficiency the most common

matches or denies are listed at the top.

The neighbor distribute-list command is an alternative to the neighbor prefix-list command and only

one of them can be used for filtering to the same neighbor in any direction.

Examples

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip prefix-list list1 deny 30.0.0.0/24

Switch(config)# router bgp 12

Switch(config-router)# neighbor 10.10.10.10 prefix-list list1 in
