This section describes how to modify a prefix rule.

Notes and Constraints

IP prefix rules change the path through which network traffic passes. If the route policy of a prefix rule has already been associated with an enterprise router, evaluate the impact on services before modifying the prefix rule.

Procedure

Go to the Prefix Lists page.
Click the name of the target IP prefix list.

The prefix rule list is displayed.
Locate the row that contains the target prefix rule and click Modify in the Operation column.

The Modify Prefix Rule dialog box is displayed.

Configure the parameters based on Table 1.

Max. Netmask Length	The max. netmask length cannot be smaller than the min. netmask length. For example, if the min. netmask length is 18, the max. netmask length must be from 18 to 32 (for example, 20).	28
