Prefix List Commands

This chapter describes the Cisco IOS XR software commands used to configure IP Version 4 (IPv4) and IP Version 6 (IPv6) prefix on NCS 5000 routers.

For detailed information about prefix list concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, refer to the IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 5000 Series Routers.

clear prefix-list ipv4

To reset the hit count on an IP Version 4 (IPv4) prefix list, use the clear prefix-list ipv4 command in XR EXEC mode.

clear prefix-list ipv4 name [sequence-number]

Syntax Description

name

Name of the prefix list from which the hit count is to be cleared.

sequence-number

(Optional) Sequence number of a prefix list. Range is 1 to 2147483646.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

XR EXEC mode

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 6.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The hit count is a value indicating the number of matches to a specific prefix list entry. Use the clear prefix-list ipv4 command to clear counters for a specified configured prefix list.

Use the sequence-number argument to clear counters for a prefix list with a specific sequence number.

Examples

The following example displays IPv4 prefix lists, shows how to clear the counters for list3, then shows how to display the IPv4 prefix lists again, showing that counters are cleared for list3:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:routershow prefix-list ipv4

ipv4 prefix-list list1 
 10 permit 172.18.30.154/16 (8 matches)
ipv4 prefix-list list2
 20 deny 172.24.30.164/16 (12 matches)
ipv4 prefix-list list3
 30 permit 172.19.31.154/16 (32 matches)

 20 deny 172.24.30.164/16 (12 matches)
ipv4 prefix-list list3
 30 permit 172.19.31.154/16

copy prefix-list ipv4

To create a copy of an existing IP Version 4 (IPv4) prefix list, use the copy prefix-list ipv4 command in XR EXEC mode.

copy prefix-list ipv4 source-name destination-name

Syntax Description

source-name

Name of the prefix list to be copied.

destination-name

Destination prefix list where the contents of the source-name will be copied.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

XR EXEC mode

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 6.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the copy prefix-list ipv4 command to copy a configured prefix list. Use the source-name argument to specify the prefix list to be copied and the destination-name argument to specify where to copy the contents of the source prefix list. The destination-name argument must be a unique name; if the destination-name argument name exists for a prefix list or access list, the prefix list is not copied. The copy prefix-list ipv4 command checks that the source prefix list exists, then checks the existing list names to prevent overwriting existing prefix lists.

 30 permit 172.29.30.154/16
ipv4 prefix-list list4
 10 permit 172.24.20.164/16

deny (prefix-list)

To set deny conditions for an IP Version 4 (IPv4) prefix list, use the deny command in IPv4 prefix list configuration modes. To remove a condition from a prefix list, use the no form of this command.

[ sequence-number] deny network/ length [ge value] [le value] [eq value]

no sequence-number deny

Syntax Description

sequence-number

(Optional) Sets deny conditions for a prefix list with a specific sequence number. If you do not use a sequence number, the condition defaults to the next available sequence number in the prefix list. Range is 1 to 2147483646. By default, the first statement is number 10, and the subsequent statements are incremented by 10. The sequence-number argument must be used with the no form of the command.

network / length

Network number and length (in bits) of the network mask.

ge value

(Optional) Specifies a prefix length greater than or equal to the value. It is the lowest value of a range of the length (the “from” portion of the length range).

le value

(Optional) Specifies a prefix length less than or equal to the value. It is the highest value of a range of the length (the “to” portion of the length range).

eq value

(Optional) Exact value of the length .

Command Default

There is no specific condition under which a packet is denied passing the IPv4 prefix list.

Command Modes

IPv4 prefix list configuration

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 6.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the deny command to specify conditions under which a packet cannot pass the prefix list.

The ge , le and eq keywords can be used to specify the range of the prefix length to be matched, for prefixes that are more specific than the network/length argument. Exact match is assumed when neither ge nor le is specified. The range is assumed to be from the ge value to 32 if only the ge keyword is specified. The range is assumed to be from the length to the le value argument if only the le attribute is specified.

A specified ge value or le value must satisfy the following condition:

length < ge value < le value <= 32 (for IPv4)

length < ge value < le value <= 128 (for IPv6)

ipv4 prefix-list

To define an IP Version (IPv4) prefix list by name, use the ipv4 prefix-list command in XR Config mode. To remove the prefix list, use the no form of this command.

ipv4 prefix-list name

no ipv4 prefix-list name

Syntax Description

name

Name of the prefix list. Names cannot contain a space or quotation marks.

Command Default

No IPv4 prefix list is defined.

Command Modes

XR Config mode

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 6.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ipv4 prefix-list command to configure an IPv4 prefix list. This command places the router in prefix-list configuration mode, in which the denied or permitted access conditions must be defined with the deny or permit command. You must add a condition to create the prefix list.

Use the resequence prefix-list ipv4 command to renumber existing statements and increment subsequent statements to allow a new IPv4 prefix list statement (permit , deny , or remark ) to be added. Specify the first entry number (the base ) and the increment by which to separate the entry numbers of the statements. The software will renumber the existing statements, thereby making room to add new statements with the unused entry numbers.

Usage Guidelines

The sequence number of a prefix list entry determines the order of the entries in the list. The router compares network addresses to the prefix list entries. The router begins the comparison at the top of the prefix list, with the entry having the lowest sequence number.

If multiple entries of a prefix list match a prefix, the entry with the lowest sequence number is considered the real match. When a match or deny occurs, the router does not go through the rest of the prefix list.

By default, the first statement in a prefix list is sequence number 10, and the subsequent statements are incremented by 10.

Use the resequence prefix-list ipv4 command to add a permit , deny , or remark statement between consecutive entries in an existing IPv4 prefix list. Specify the first entry number (the base ) and the increment by which to separate the entry numbers of the statements. The software renumbers the existing statements, thereby making room to add new statements with the unused entry numbers.
