Hi Mohammed,

Yup, it's Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Volume II. I also have tried it practically
and noted that I can match ip address.

No one seems to know why Cisco removed the "weight" keyword from the
"neighbor filter-list" command. There it goes, one method less to modify
weight. Then again, we can use the route-map method.

Thank you.

B.Rgds,
Lim TS
