Example
In a switch that contains two prefix lists, a standard display looks like this:
switch# show ip prefix-list ip prefix-list Odd: 4 entries seq 5 permit 10.1.1.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 10 deny 10.1.2.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 15 permit 10.1.3.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 20 deny 10.1.4.1/24 ge 24 le 24 ip prefix-list Even: 4 entries seq 5 deny 10.1.1.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 10 permit 10.1.2.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 15 deny 10.1.3.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 20 permit 10.1.4.1/24 ge 24 le 24
A summary of the prefix lists looks like this:
switch# show ip prefix-list summary ip prefix-list Odd: Count:4, Range-entries: 4, Sequences: 5 - 20 ip prefix-list Even: Count:4, Range-entries: 4, Sequences: 5 - 20
A detailed display of one of the prefix lists looks like this:
switch# show ip prefix-list name Even detail ip prefix-list Even: Count:4, Range-entries: 4, Sequences: 5 - 20 seq 5 deny 10.1.1.1/24 ge 24 le 24 Description: Permit even-numbered subnets seq 10 permit 10.1.2.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 15 deny 10.1.3.1/24 ge 24 le 24 seq 20 permit 10.1.4.1/24 ge 24 le 24
