Athaide,

In the example provided, there is no difference in either prefix list. You
are essentially saying match the first 23 bits and you need a subnet mask of
ge 24 and le 24(which is 24 only).

The solution guide says match the first 23 bits with a subnet mask of le 24.
Here in this case it can only be 24.

But, look at this example:

ip prefix-list FILTER seq 10 permit 28.119.16.0/22 ge 24 le 24
Vs
ip prefix-list FILTER seq 10 permit 28.119.16.0/22 le 24

The first one is saying match the first 22 bits with a subnet mask of 24
only. In this case the matches are:
28.119.16.0/24
28.119.17.0/24
28.119.18.0/24
28.119.19.0/24

Whereas, second one is pointing to match the first 22 bits and the subnet
mask can be le 24. That means, you the prefixes can have a subnet mask of
either 23 or 24. In this case the matches are:
28.119.16.0/23
28.119.16.0/24
28.119.17.0/23
28.119.17.0/24
28.119.18.0/23
28.119.18.0/24
28.119.19.0/23
28.119.19.0/24

HTH,
Shine

Subject: Prefix list question

If I want to match the following Subnets in a prefix list

28.119.16.0/24

28.119.17.0/24

My answer

ip prefix-list FILTER seq 10 permit 28.119.16.0/23 ge 24 le 24

SG

ip prefix-list FILTER seq 10 permit 28.119.16.0/23 le 24

Please comment

thanks
