RE: BGP Prefix-Based Outbound Route Filtering

        The send/receive/both option specifies whether you can send to
an upstream neighbor a prefix for them to filter with, whether you can
receive a prefix from a downstream neighbor to filter out to them, or
both.

        The final step which is not as clear as it should be is to apply
a prefix-list inbound to the upstream peer. You can verify that its
working by going to the upstream peer and doing a 'sh ip bgp nei x.x.x.x
advertised' From this output you should see only what is matched in the
downstream peer's prefix-list.

Subject: Fw: BGP Prefix-Based Outbound Route Filtering

Can some you post a good example when to use BGP Prefix-Based Outbound
Route Filtering. The example in CCO did not do justice to the topic.
When you configure the command do you need to have a prefix-list
associated with it? Below is CCO example
 
router bgp 100
 address-family ipv4 unicast
 neighbor 172.16.1.2 remote-as 200
 neighbor 172.16.1.2 capability orf prefix-list send
 
router bgp 100
 address-family ipv4 unicast
 neighbor 192.168.1.2 remote-as 200
 neighbor 192.168.1.2 capability orf prefix-list both
 
 
 
Also what is the difference with the command below from
capability orf prefix-list send above
 
router bgp 100
 neighbor 176.16.1.2 capability orf prefix-filter send
