Hi Mushtaq,

My test results show that a prefix list of "ip prefix-list permit
10.10.0.0/16 ge 30 le 30" will match ONLY on /30 subnets where the first 16
bits are 10.10

/16 means match the first 16 bits left to right without skipping must match.
ge 30 le 30 means that the subnet must be equal to /30 or 255.255.255.252.

Subject: IP Prefix-List issue

All,

I have recently read one very good posting on prefix-list in the groupstudy
and thought I now understand it very well but look like I still have some
confusions. Can someone help me out here.

For the prefix list "ip prefix-list permit 10.10.0.0/16 ge 30 le 30" I think
it will match the first 16 bits and will use a mask of 255.255.255.252. If
this is correct, will this permit 10.10.0.0 and 10.10.0.4 or only
10.10.0.4as the mask seems to limit to match the 30th bit.

Thanks,
Mushtaq
