Re: Question about prefix list

[Randy <randy_94108 () yahoo com>]

Ann,
the commas not withstanding, the le/ge operands as applicable to prefix-lists simply mean "less-than or equal-to" or 
greater-than or "equal-to" wrt netmasks in CIDR speak.

In you prefix-list below, the le operand means -
allow following ranges:

/22,/23,/24 deny all else
for the /21
it means allow /21 thru /24

Anything without an operand means an exact-match(permit/deny)

Homework for you:

What do the following do:

1) ip prefix-list foo deny 0.0.0.0/0 le32
2) ip prefix-list foo permit 0.0.0/0 le 32

Understand the above and you will understand how operands work in prefix-lists.
