Select the
Type
of access list:
IPv4
or
IPv6
.
For IPv4,
Add
an
IPv4 Entry
and enter the
Seq
number for the rule (range is 1 to 65,535).
Select the
Action
:
Deny
(the default) or
Permit
.
For
Source Address
, there are three options: select
Address
and in the subsequent
Address
field, enter an IPv4 address. Enter a
Wildcard
mask to indicate a range. A zero (0) in the mask indicates that bit must match the corresponding bit in the address; a one (1) in the mask indicates a “don’t care” bit. The other options are
Any
or
None
.
For
Destination Address
, select
Address
and in the subsequent
Address
field, enter an IPv4 address. Enter a
Wildcard
. A zero (0) in the mask indicates a bit that must match; a one (1) in the mask indicates a “don’t care’ bit. The other options are
Any
or
None
.
Click
OK
to save the entry.
Alternatively, select the
Type
to be
IPv6
.
For IPv6,
Add
an
IPv6 Entry
and enter the
Seq
number (range is 1 to 65,535).
Select the
Action
:
Deny
(the default) or
Permit
.
For
Source Address
, there are three options: select
Address
and in the subsequent
Address
field, enter an IPv6
Address
. Optionally select
Exact Match of this address
to have the firewall perform a comparison of both the prefix and prefix length and they must match exactly; otherwise, the firewall determines the match comparison based on whether the route is in the same subnet as the configured prefix. (If the Source Address is
Any
or
None
, you cannot select
Exact Match of this address
.) The other options are
Any

Add
a
Filters Prefix List
by

Select the
Type
of prefix for this rule to filter:
IPv4
or
IPv6
.
For IPv4,
Add
an
IPv4 Entry
, and enter the
Seq
number for the rule; range is 1 to 65,535.
Select the
Action
:
Deny
(the default) or
Permit
.
For
Prefix
, there are three options; default is
None
. Another option is to select
Network any
. The third option is to select
Entry
and enter an IPv4
Network
prefix with slash and a base prefix length that together specify a network, for example, 192.168.2.0/24. Optionally specify that the prefix length be
Greater Than Or Equal
to a number (that is at least as large as the base length you specified; range is 0 to 32). Optionally specify a top limit to the range by specifying
Less Than Or Equal
to a number (that is at least as high as the base length and at least as high as the
Greater Than Or Equal
length if configured; range is 0 to 32).
Comparing a route to the prefix rule (IPv4 or IPv6) is a two-step process: 1) Match the prefix with the network first. 2) Match the prefix length to the mask range (Greater Than or Equal to Less Than Or Equal). For example, consider the preflix list rule with Network 192.168.3.0/24, and a prefix length Greater Than or Equal to 26 and Less Than or Equal to 30. The following table shows routes that are tested and whether they pass or fail the rule. Routes that pass the rule are subject to the configured action (Deny or Permit).
Sample Route	Result
192.168.3.0/28	Pass: the network and prefix length match the rule.
192.168.2.0/30	Fail: network does not match the rule.
192.168.3.0/32	Fail: prefix length does not match the rule.
In the output summary of the rule, LOU is Logical Operator Unit (equal, greater or equal, less or equal). >= indicates a prefix length greater than or equal to the value; it is the lowest value of a range of the prefix length. <= indicates a prefix length less than or equal to the value; it is the highest value of a range of the prefix length.
Alternatively,
Add
an
IPv6 Entry
and follow the steps similar to those for an IPv4 prefix rule. The range of the IPv6 prefix length is
Greater Than or Equal
to 0 to 128 and
Less Than Or Equal
to 0 to 128.
For example, consider the prefix list rule with Network 2001:db8:1/48, and a prefix length Greater Than or Equal to 56 and Less Than or Equal to 64. The following table shows routes that are tested and whether they pass or fail the rule. Routes that pass the rule are subject to the configured action (Deny or Permit).
Sample Route	Result
2001:db8:1/64	Pass: the network and prefix length match the rule.
2001:db8:2/48	Fail: network does not match the rule.
2001:db8:1/65	Fail: prefix length does not match the rule.

—Enter a value in the range 0 to 4,294,967,295.
Interface
—Select a local interface from the list of all interfaces for all logical routers. Make sure to choose an interface that belongs to the logical router you are configuring. Default is
None
. At commit, the firewall checks that the interface you chose belongs to the logical router you are configuring.
Origin
—Select the origin of the route:
ebgp
,

Select
IPv4
or
IPv6
to match on various types of addresses. If you select
IPv4
:
On the
Address
tab, select an
Access List
to specify addresses to match.
Select a
Prefix List
to specify addresses to match. It matches the prefix received from a peer or a prefix redistributed to protocol from another protocol.
If both an access list and prefix list are specified, both requirements must be met (logical AND).
On the
Next Hop
tab, select an
Access List
to specify next hop addresses to match.
Select a
Prefix List
to specify next hop addresses to match.
On the
Route Source
tab, select an
Access List
to specify a source IP address of a route to match. For example, the access list could permit a distant peer with the address 192.168.2.2 who is advertising a route to a certain prefix. You can make this BGP route map match on the route’s source address 192.168.2.2 and then perhaps filter the route based on matching the peer address 192.168.2.2 as the source of the route, or set a next hop for routes matching that route source.
Specify a
Prefix List
to specify one or more source network prefixes to match.
If you select
IPv6
:
On the
Address
tab, select an
Access List
to specify addresses to match.
Select a
Prefix List
to specify addresses to match.
On the
Next Hop
tab, select an
Access List
to specify next hop addresses to match.
Set
any of the following attributes for routes that meet the match criteria:
Enable BGP atomic aggregate
—Mark the route as a less specific route because it has been aggregated. ATOMIC_AGGREGATE is a well-known discretionary attribute that alerts BGP speakers along a path that information has been lost due to route aggregation, and therefore the aggregate path might not be the best path to the destination. When some router are aggregated by an aggregator, the aggregator attaches its Router-ID to the aggregated route into the AGGREGATOR-ID attribute and it sets the ATOMIC_AGGREGATE attribute or not, based on whether the AS_PATH information from the aggregated routers was preserved.
Aggregator AS
—Enter the Aggregator AS. The Aggregator attribute includes the AS number and the IP address of the router that originated the aggregated route.The IP address is the Router ID of the router that performs the route aggregation.
Router ID
—Enter the aggregator’s Router ID (usually a loopback address).
Local Preference
—Enter the local preference to which matching routes are set; range is 0 to 4,294,967,295. IBGP Update packets carry local preference, which is advertised to IBGP peers only. When there are multiple routes to another AS, the firewall prefers the highest local preference.
Tag
—Set a tag; range is 1 to 4,294,967,295.
Metric Action
—Select an action:
set
,
add
, or
subtract
. You can set the specified Metric Value, or add the specified Metric Value to the matching route’s original metric value, or subtract the specified Metric Value from the matching route’s original metric value; default is set. Select the add or subtract action to adjust a metric and thus prioritize or deprioritize the matching route.
Metric Value
—Enter the metric value to set matching routes to, or add to, or subtract from the original metric value; range is 0 to 4,294,967,295.
Weight
—Set a weight (applied locally; not propagated); range is 0 to 4,294,967,295.
Origin
—Set the origin of the matching routes:
ebgp
,
ibgp
, or
incomplete
(unclear how the route came to be added to the RIB).
Originator ID
—Set the IP address of the originator of the matching routes.
Delete Regular Community
—Select a regular community to delete. Default is
None
.
Delete Large Community
—Select a large community to delete. Default is
None
.
