troubleshooting Question
understanding Prefix-List
asked on
I am trying to understand the purpose of the number that comes after the "/".
example:
ip prefix-list TEST seq 5 permit 10.0.0.0/2 ge 17
2 means match 2 bits of first octet 10
however whatever I put , the prefix list will care just about the ge 17
to clarify it I have this table before filtering:
if I use : ip prefix-list TEST seq 5 permit 10.0.0.0/2 ge 17
router eigrp 1
distribute-list prefix TEST in
so what 's the purpose of the number that comes after the slash sign "/", example:10.0.0.0/2
Thank you
