    Dears

    Not sure if this is the right behavior or not so would like your assistance please.

     

    I want to match on all loopback /32 prefixes. When I use do this using prefix-list-filter orlonger no matches occur however when i do this using route-filter orlonger there are matches ... Shouldn't both be the same ??

     

    ||||||||||||||||||

     

    # Hosts address to be matches as a test 

     

    root@R1# show interfaces lo0 | display set
    set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 20.0.0.1/32
    set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 20.0.0.2/32

     

    # Policy

     

    root@R1# show policy-options | display set
    set policy-options prefix-list EGRESS 0.0.0.0/31

     

    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST term 1 from prefix-list-filter EGRESS orlonger
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST term 1 then accept
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST term 2 then reject

     

    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 1 from route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 orlonger
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 1 then accept
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 2 then reject

     

    # Test Reults

     

    root@R1# run test policy EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST 20.0.0.1/32

    Policy EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST: 0 prefix accepted, 1 prefix rejected

    [edit]

     

    root@R1# run test policy EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST 20.0.0.2/32

    Policy EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST: 0 prefix accepted, 1 prefix rejected

     


    root@R1# run test policy EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER 20.0.0.1/32

    inet.0: 10 destinations, 12 routes (10 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
    + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

    20.0.0.1/32 *[Direct/0] 04:50:47
    > via lo0.0
    [OSPF/10] 04:50:47, metric 0
    > via lo0.0

    Policy EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER: 1 prefix accepted, 0 prefix rejected

    root@R1# run test policy EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER 20.0.0.2/32

    inet.0: 10 destinations, 12 routes (10 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
    + = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

    20.0.0.2/32 *[Direct/0] 04:46:37

    Policy EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER: 1 prefix accepted, 0 prefix rejected

    Hi !

    Your logic is the wrong one as:

     

    root@R1# show policy-options | display set
    set policy-options prefix-list EGRESS 0.0.0.0/31

     

    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST term 1 from prefix-list-filter EGRESS orlonger
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST term 1 then accept
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_PREFIX_LIST term 2 then reject

     

    ######################

    the thing is that your statement as written means:

    the first 31 bit of the address has to match the 0.0.0.0 and the orlonger means the mask must be /31 or /32

    --- it would only match  0.0.0.1/31 or 0.0.0.0/31 or 0.0.0.0/32 or 0.0.0.1/32

     

     

    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 1 from route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 orlonger
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 1 then accept
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 2 then reject

     

    #############################

    the second one matches everything

    ##############################

     

    correct in my opinion would be:

    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 1 from route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 prefix-length-range /32-/32

    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 1 then accept
    set policy-options policy-statement EGRESS_ROUTER_FILTER term 2 then reject

     

    ---> this matches any address where the mask is /32

     

    with best regards
