- Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
- Click Service List and choose Networking > Enterprise Router.
The Enterprise Router homepage is displayed.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Routing Control > Prefix Lists.

Configuration
Mandatory
Choose Quick or Advanced.- Quick
Enter the IP prefix in the CIDR format. This parameter specifies the first bits of an IP address range that a route destination must match.
The following are parameters that you do not need to configure:- Sequence Number: Automatically generated. The sequence number increases by a multiple of 10, with that of the first rule set to 10. The subsequent numbers are 20, 30, and so on.
- Action: Allow by default
- Min. Netmask Length and Max. Netmask Length
- Advanced
- Sequence Number: An IP prefix list consists of one or more prefix rules that are applied to filter routes based on their sequence numbers, in ascending order. A sequence number can be from 0 to 65535. You are advised to set the sequence number of the first rule to 20.
- Action: Select Allow or Deny. If a route matches a prefix rule with Action set to Allow, the route is allowed. If the prefix rule has Action set to Deny, the route is denied.
- IP Prefix: Enter the IP prefix in the CIDR format. This parameter specifies the first bits of an IP address range that a route destination must match.
- Min. Netmask Length: It cannot be smaller than the netmask length of the IP prefix. For example, if the netmask length of the IP prefix is 16, the min. netmask length must be greater than or equal to 16 (for example, 18).
- Max. Netmask Length: It 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).
- Serial Number: 10
- Action: Allow
- IP Prefix: 10.0.0.0/16
- Min. Netmask Length: 20
- Max. Netmask Length: 28
- Click OK.
You can view the created IP prefix list.
