asked on understanding Prefix-List
I am trying to understand he usage of Prefix-List , but it seems like they are abit complex.
for instance:
1***what is this saying:
ip prefix-list test seq 12 permit 192.168.1.0/16 ge 24 le 24
is it permitting 1902.168.0.0 all the way 192.168.1.0 ?
2***what is this saying:
ip prefix-list test seq 12 permit 192.168.1.0/16 le 32
is it permitting anything that starts with 192.168.X.X all the way 192.18.254.254 ?
3*** what about this, doe s it need "le" or "ge"
0.0.0.0/0
4*** what about these:
0.0.0.0/0 le 32
0.0.0.0/32
Thank you

It is important to note that the prefix-list is use for matching prefixes (routes) and not individual IP addresses.

sorry I did not get it
ip prefix-list test seq 12 permit 192.168.1.0/16 ge 24 le 24
so /16 is meaningless since it will pass only subnets with 24 bits ?
I see you mention 25 bits .... I did not get get it...
since the condition says greater or equal 24 and less or equal 24...which means to me just 24

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

I initially understood:
it will take : 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.254.0
Until I saw this, I extracted this from the pdf link given to me above:
ip prefix-list mylist seq 10 permit 172.16.0.0/16 ge 24 le 26
This will take the entire class B network 172.16.0.0 (172.16.0.0/16) and
pass only subnets with a /24, /25 or /26 mask (ge 24 le 26). So the exact
network 172.16.0.0/16 would actually fail the list because it does not have
a mask of /24, /25 or /26.
