Usage Scenario
The filtering rule (based on the destination addresses, next hop addresses, or source addresses of IPv6 routes) configured using this command takes effect only after an IPv6 prefix or an ACL is configured.
- If the if-match ipv6 next-hop prefix-list aa command is used but the ip ipv6-prefix aa is not configured, all routes are permitted. This is the same case when the ACL is used.
- If the if-match ipv6 next-hop prefix-list aa command is used after the ip ipv6-prefix aa permit 2001:db8:1::1 128 command is used, the routes with the next hop address 2001:db8:1::1 are permitted. This is the same case when the ACL is used.
Prerequisites
A route-policy has been configured using the route-policy command.
An ACL has been configured using the
acl command.
Configuration Impact
When you filter routes based on the source addresses of IPv6 routes, the routes that match the filtering rule are permitted and the route that do not match the filtering rule are denied.
Precautions
If the next hop address or source address of a route to be filtered is 0::0, by default, the system matches the route and considers its mask length as 0.
If the next hop address or source address of a route to be filtered is not 0::0, by default, the system matches the route and considers its mask length as 128.
For a named ACL, when the
rule command is used to configure a filtering rule, only the source address range specified in source and the time period specified in time-range take effect on the filtering rule.
