This is a minor detail that a lot of documentation assumes you know already, which is a bad assumption.
le = less than or equal to, ge = greater than or equal to. Read the prefix lists in that manner and they suddenly make a lot more sense! HTH, John >>> "ericbrouwers" 1/29/03 2:44:47 PM >>> Hello, I've a question about BGP prefix-lists. In BGP prefix commands the operators "le" and "ge" can be used. For instance: ip prefix-list abc permit 0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 le 24 I suppose that the "e" in "le" and "ge" means "equal to", doesn't it? I ask this because Cisco's prefix-list documentation is sometimes ambiguous with respect to ranges and equations (at least for me as a non-native English speaker): - "from 8 to 24". This includes (both 8 and) 24, doesn't it? - "up to 24". This includes 24, doesn't it? - "greater than 25". In my opinion this does not include 25, but in some prefix-list examples Cisco suggests it is included. - "less than 16". In my opinion this does not include 16, but in some prefix-list examples Cisco suggests it is included. Thanks for any comments.
