The way you call the prefix-list in BGP and other IGP protocols is different.<br />
<br />
with BGP you call it after the Neighbor x.x.x.x command<br />
with other protocols you call it using Distribute-List command

I have noticed the usage of Prefix -list differs from one protocol to another.<br />
for instance in BGP, they use:<br />
Neighbor x.x.x.x Prefix-list &lt;name of the Prefix-list&gt;<br />
<br />
with &nbsp;other protocols such as EIGRP, they use<br />
<br />
Distribute-list &nbsp;Prefix-list &lt;name of the Prefix-list&gt;<br />
<br />
is that correct ?<br />
<br />
Thank you

Usage of Prefix-List

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
