CSM 4.4 prefix-list

I am on CSM 4.4 and just did discovery on our VPN ASA. CSM nicely told me that the EIGRP and route-map configs needed to be done as Flex Configs (which I have done before). But it did NOT say that prefix-lists used in the route-maps were in "CLI not discovered" status. So I assumed that the prefix-lists would be *somewhere* in the CSM policies - I cannot find them.
I saw here that prefix-lists aren't supported, but 4.4 didn't say so. Does anyone know if they just *vanish*? Or, where I can find them?
Paul

The correct syntax beings "ip prefix-list". It is not a supported command on ASA software.
I was able to create a flexconfig using the corect syntax and deploy it successfully to a router where it is a supported command.

Hello everyone,
I have a few simple questions. Hope someone will help me Thank you in advance.
1) We are using prefix-set into route-maps, but how I can use a prefix-list?
2) In classic IOS we have the command: clear bgp peer-group Test soft in
I don't see it in IOS-XR (Cisco IOS XR Software, Version 4.0.1):

BGP prefix list weird issue

Hello All,
I'm working in a BGP prefix list configuration and i'm seeing a strange issue.
Issue: As per the cofiguration we have defined the prefix list to filter the incomming subnets. Though a specific subnet is not allowed in the prefix list but the router is allowing the subnet to get in to BGP table from the neighbour.
configuration:
ip prefix-list TEST seq 5 permit 10.61.64.0/19 ge 24 le 24
Though the below subnet is not allowed in prefix list but I'm seeing this subnet in BGP table with best path.
10.61.192.0/23
Can you anybody help me to know what could be the issue? any bug? any thing I'm wrong with the configuration?
Thanks,
Thiyagu

Hi,
After applying the prefix-list try soft resting the BGP neighbor and test again

New to EEM, i wanna soft reset BGP when a prefix list is applied

Hello,
This is my script:

action 1.0 cli command "do clear ip bgp 10.0.0.2 soft out"
action 2.0 syslog msg "BGP PEERS SOFT RESETED OUT"
When I issue the "neighbor 10.0.0.2 prefix-list A in" command it displays the pre-defined syslog msg, but the peer is not reseted.
Test:
R1(config-router)#do sh ip bgp

action 1.0 cli command "do clear ip bgp 10.0.0.2 soft"
action 2.0 syslog msg "BGP PEERS SOFT RESETED"
result is the same...

skip no means: execute the command (you can skip it)
sync no means: you have to execute the CLI command, then the EEM script runs
example to skip:
R1#sh running | b event
event manager applet OSPF
event cli pattern "clear ip ospf process" sync no skip yes period 1
end
R1#clear ip ospf process
R1#
without "skip"
R1#sh running | b event
R1#clear ip ospf process
Reset ALL OSPF processes? [no]: y

PIX 501 - prefix-list causes PDM to fail

Hi
I am configuring a redundant link via ADSL between 2 501 routers
I cant get the link to activate when the system is connected to the local network because it picks up a OSPF route to the remote site via the main internal network.
I tried to ad a filter to prevent the the route being recieved. And here is my problem
Either using PDM or the command line, the creation of a filter
prefix-list mel-backup seq 9 deny melbackup/30 causes the PDM to lock on startup or save.
And the area filter command seems to have no effect
I even tried a random internal route.
The commands I am adding are
prefix-list backup_melb seq 3 deny Level9/24
router ospf 22
network 10.150.102.22 255.255.255.255 area 0
area 0 filter-list prefix backup_melb in
Does anyone know of a problem with this ?
Thanks in Advance
Mark Casey

Hi,
PIX501 is a very very old Cisco firewall that has not been sold for a long time to my understanding. It also doesnt support even close to new software levels.
If you wanted to replace the PIX501 the corresponding model nowadays would be ASA5505 which is the smallest Cisco ASA firewall with 8 switch port module. There is already a new ASA5500-X Series (while ASA5505 is of the original ASA 5500 Series) but they have not yet introduced a replacing model for this model nor have they stopped selling this unit. I have a couple of them at home. Though naturally they are more expensive than your usual consumer firewalls.
But if you wanted to replace your PIX firewall then I would probably suggest ASA5505. Naturally you could get some other models too but the cost naturally rises even more. I am not sure at what price these are sold as used.
I used some PIX501 firewalls at the start of my career but have not used them in ages since ASA5505 is pretty much the firewall model we use when we need a firewall/vpn device for a smaller network/branch site.
Here is a PDF of the original ASA5500 Series.

I am afraid that its very hard for me atleast to troubleshoot this especially since I have not seen any outputs yet. Also the very old CLI and lack of GUI (?) make it harder to see what the problem is.
Could you provide the requested outputs?

Hi Yogesh,
Prefix lists are more sophisticated forms that Cisco provides for filtering BGP route advertisements. They filter on IP address just as distribute-lists do, however they are easier to read, and require fewer commands to configure.For example
prefix-list xx seq 10 permit 43.10.0.0/16 ge 18
The statement above allows any route announcement in the range of 43.1.0.0 - 43.1.255.255 but that announcement must have a length greater than 18 bits in the mask. This permits you to allow announcements in the range, but not an announcement equalling the entire range (/16), or even announcements of half the range (/17). Only announcments with a length "greater than or equal to" /18 will be permitted.
With your configuration only /24 and /23 in the network will be out via prefic list for vsnl and vice versa for bharathi.
Check out the below link for more information and implementation of prefix list

Hi,
You will use RPL to achieve the same logic. You will create a prefix-set which describes all your prefixes and then create a policy like this:
if destination in then drop else pass
with a prefix-set listing all the prefixes you want to reject.

Ip prefix-list modification help

i need to modify my internet edge bgp advertisements to exclude a small slice of the end of our ip space and i can't wrap my brain around what i need to do to modify the prefix list. my company uses the 192.168.0.0 thru 192.168.11.255 ip space and shown below in our existing bgp configuration (slightly modified to protect the innocent). I want to cut out the very last /29 net out of the 192.168.11.0 network.
router bgp 65001
bgp always-compare-med
bgp log-neighbor-changes
bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax
neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 65002
neighbor 1.1.1.1 ebgp-multihop 255

ip prefix-list mycompany-list seq 71 permit 192.168.8.0/22 le 24
now, i know i could just remove the prefix-list and change the advertised networks with the following but i'd really like to know how to do it via a prefix-list.
network 192.168.0.0       255.255.248.0
network 192.168.8.0       255.255.254.0

network 192.168.11.240 255.255.255.248
Any help that anyone can provide is much appreciated!

i tried applying your suggestion and we still saw the larger 192.168.8.0/22 supernet being advertised... still missing something.
i tried writing the prefix-list explictitly stating only the networks i wanted advertised but something went wrong and we lost some internet connectivity from the outside so i had to pull things back to the way they were. this is what i tried:
first i added lines 75 thur 105 so the list looked like this:
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 65 deny 192.168.11.248/29       <- your suggestion applied
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 70 permit 192.168.0.0/21 le 24 <- original line
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 71 permit 192.168.8.0/22 le 24 <- oiriginal line
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 75 permit 192.168.8.0/23          <- new stuff starts here
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 80 permit 192.168.10.0/24
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 85 permit 192.168.11.0/25
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 90 permit 192.168.11.128/26
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 95 permit 192.168.11.192/27
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 100 permit 192.168.11.224/28
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 105 permit 192.168.11.240/29
then i removed lines 65 and 71 leaving just this:
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 70 permit 192.168.0.0/21 le 24 <- original line
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 75 permit 192.168.8.0/23          <- new stuff
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 80 permit 192.168.10.0/24
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 85 permit 192.168.11.0/25
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 90 permit 192.168.11.128/26
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 95 permit 192.168.11.192/27
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 100 permit 192.168.11.224/28
ip prefix-list stateofnh-list seq 105 permit 192.168.11.240/29
but like i said, suddenly several sites we host became unavailable from and i quickly peeled everything back. suggestions?

Change an extend access list in a prefix list

Hallo All,
I would like to translate an extend access list in a prefix list.
ip access-list extended x_to_y
permit ip 1.1.1.1 0.0.1.255 any
deny ip any host 3.3.3.3
Any hint?
Thanks!!!

Hi Fabio,
I am sorry but to my best knowledge, this is not going to work.
You want to perform Policy Based Routing (PBR). For PBR, the packet selection is based on inspecting their header values by an ACL. A prefix-list does not inspect header values; rather, it would inspect routing update contents. This is also the reason why you cannot figure out how to rewrite the second line - because a prefix-list does not have a source-and-destination semantics. It is simply a list of network addresses you would be looking for in routing protocol updates.
Even the documentation at
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_pi/configuration/15-mt/iri-15-mt-book/iri-pbr.html
clearly shows that the only supported match commands are match length and match ip address - not match ip address prefix-list.
I wonder - how come that your platform is unable to accomodate an ACL for PBR in hardware? Can we perhaps try to make this work? A prefix-list is not the way to go.
Best regards,
Peter

IPv6 BGP prefix-list filtering

Dears,
I have established iBGP seesion between 2 routers (R1 ---- R2) and I want to advertise loopback interface /128 using ipv prifex filtering, but didnt advertise to neighbor loopback . it is working fine with network or redistribute command but I want to know why it is not working with
prefix-list filtering?
Configuration:
router bgp 100
neighbor 2001:100:1:1::2 remote-as 100
address-family ipv6
neighbor 2001:100:1:1::2 activate
neighbor 2001:100:1:1::2 prefix-list IPV6 out
no synchronization
exit-address-family
int lo 100
ipv address 2001:500:1:1::1/128
ipv6 prefix-list IPV6 seq 10 permit 2001:500:1:1::1/128
router bgp 100
neighbor 2001:100:1:1::1 remote-as 100
address-family ipv6
neighbor 2001:100:1:1::1 activate
neighbor 2001:100:1:1::1 prefix-list TEST out
no synchronization
exit-address-family
int lo 100
ipv address 2001:600:1:1::1/128
ipv6 prefix-list TEST seq 10 permit 2001:600:1:1::1/128
Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd
2001:100:1:1::1 4 100 49236 49191 5 0 0 04:03:21 0

Even though you're using a prefix list, the prefix list is used for filtering and not advertising the network. You still have to advertise the network using "network 2001:600:1:1::1/128" and you should see it.

A little bit confused about the ipv6 prefix-list

when I configured ;
ipv6 prefix-list abc permit ::/0 ge 0
which I wish is to permit all the ipv6 routes,
but the running information becomes "ipv6 prefix-list abc permit ::/0" which only matched the default ipv6 routes
what is wrong with me

Don't forget to test it on real hardware. There should be plenty of iOS 5.1-limited devices available real soon now. Keep one of those for testing.

ASR 9010 prefix-list configuration

I am new to ios-xr i tried configuring prefix list using
prefix-set <name> i need to give all the prefixes in a single line seperated by comma as show below
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios(config)#prefix-set abc
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios(config-pfx)#
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios(config-pfx)#1.1.1.1/32,2.2.0.0/16,12.12.12.0/18,20.53.13.0/$
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ios(config-pfx)#end-set
is there any other way to configure this because creating hundreds of prefixes in a single line is very difficult and also if i need to edit how can i do that .
if i try to edit this prefix-set the old configuration is lost how to overcome this issue

It seems to be working fine 4.2.3

So it might be the release you have is affected by the ddts referenced.

Hello, We are using a proxying utility called EzProxy from Useful Utilities for controlling student access to online databases and catalogs, which use client-IP as it's security mechanism (basically if the requests come from our network it lets the client in). I would like to host it through the Plumtree portal as a remote portlet, so that the portal can assume responsibility for access control. Here's why it isn't a slam dunk to set it up as a fully gatewayed remote portlet: to proxy remote hosts, it uses 'proxy by hostname'. A request for www.abc.com/whateverpassed through ezproxy.royalroads.ca ends up being returned to the client (in this case our portal for inclusiion as a portlet) as www.abc.com.ezproxy.royalroads.ca/whatever. As you can see, it dynamically adds to it's hostname list anything it's proxying. There's a better explanation of how it works at http://www.ezproxy.com/support/rewrite.html near the bottom of the page under 'new strategy'. My question to you is 'Can I set up in the Gateway URL Prefix list something like: http://*.ezproxy.royalroads.ca/. and expect it to properly gateway through the portal?' There's no way for us to know what will appear in place of the * beforehand, so we would like some way to wildcard the 'start' of the urls. Please let me know if this is simple to accomplish and/or feasible... if it is not we may have some other options to pursue before spending a ton of time trying to get gatewaying working. Thanks! -Dev.

The transformer will only transform URLs in Javascript if they fall in obvious places (e.g. setting a document.location or a window.open URL). Since you're passing an URL to the application.boot method, the transformer has no idea that it's dealing with an URL.
To make this work, follow these two steps:
1) Make sure the URL matches at least one of the patterns listed under Gateway URL Prefixes in the Web Service editor for your portlet.
2) Wrap the URL in a pt:url tag to give the transformer a hint that you want it to transform the URL, e.g. application.boot("<pt:url pt:href='http://localhost:7021/application/script/classes' xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'/>").
That should do the trick.

What Prefixes Are Included In My Local Calling Area?

I am in the former GTE service territory, specifically, the Elsinore Main California exchange.
On Friday, December 11, 2009, I spoke with a service representative and a supervisor (who admitted that she was "filling-in" and is really an hourly employee), who are in the soon to be divested Everett, WA call center.
I was calling to find out what prefixes are included as part of my local calling area, specifically ZUM 1 AND ZUM 2 (some also call it Zone 1 and Zone 2, but the correct designation in most southern California service areas of Verizon is ZUM).
Both representatives had no idea what a "ZUM" is, and the "supervisor" said she had never heard of the term ZUM or Zone.
What made me upset is that I was told that they (Verizon) did not have this information, and I would have to contact the CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) to obtain this information as Verizon's staff would not have it.
My reply was how would Verizon not have the information, because they would need the ZUM prefix list for each exchange so they could bill correctly.
I then asked how does Verizon gather all the calls that are made from their exchanges each month and send this data to the CPUC so that Verizon can then determine if the call is ZUM 1, ZUM 2, ZUM 3 or intralata or interlata?
The "supervisor", said yes, because Verizon would not know what prefixes are included, and relies upon the CPUC to review the calls from Verizon's exchanges and prefixes so that Verizon can bill their customers each month, and this has been the process for many years (according to the "supervisor").
I kid you not, this what was said to me by the Verizon representatives, and I shoulld have advised the employees that I was recording the call. It would have been a great play for You Tube. What a bunch of (edit) from these two Verizon call center representatives!
I'm glad Verizon is divesting the Everett call center along with other assets to Frontier, as people like these should not be employed by Verizon, in fact, they should be terminated for cause. Good luck to Frontier with the Everett call center.
Using Verizon's web site when trying to determine what prefixes are in my local calling area (ZUM 1 AND ZUM 2), you are directed to use the following two "very helpful" (my words...lol) links for information...please try for yourselves:
To obtain Local Calling Area information
http://www22.verizon.com/Content/CommonTemplates/sorry.html
Zone Usage Measurement (ZUM) Information
https://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/Phone/Calling+Plans/Local+And+Regional+Calling+Plans/Gener...
Great Information Verizon!! Both are dead links.
Anyway, point me in the direction where I can obtain the current and accurate prefixes that can be called without charge to ZUM 1 and ZUM 2, and with a charge to ZUM 3 for my exchange and prefixes. DO NOT point me to a white pages directory because that is already outdated (and I do not have a white pages directory).
Again, my exchange is Elsinore Main, and the prefixes are 951-245 and 951-674.
Thank you.
Solved!

Vpnv4 prefix dynamic update on export-map changes

Hi guys,
I have a 76k running 12.2(33)SRE9a with this vrf configuration:
ip vrf B
rd 2:2
export map RM-R3
route-target import 2:2
route-map RM-R3 permit 10
match ip address prefix-list PL-R3
set extcommunity rt 4:4 2:2 additive
route-map RM-R3 permit 15
set extcommunity rt 2:2
ip prefix-list PL-R3 seq 5 permit 172.3.3.3/32
ip prefix-list PL-R3 seq 10 permit 172.33.33.33/32
So I expect that prefixes matching prefix-list PR-R3 will have route-target 2:2 4:4, and all other prefixes will have route-target 2:2.
The question is: What happens if I remove this line of the prefix list?
no ip prefix-list PL-R3 seq 10 permit 172.33.33.33/32
Will there be any dynamic update? Do I have to clear bgp or ip routing table?
Thanks!
Diego.

Hi Diego,
I checked in IOU with SRE9a image and observed that there is no dynamic update and we need to do "clear ip bgp <as> soft out from CE side.
