Note: This type of filtering might prove problematic in situations where you want to filter an exact
route (for RIP v2). For example, if you want to filter route 10.0.0.0/8, a filter set as access-list 1
deny 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 will not suffice, because subnets such as 10.0.0.0/9, 10.0.0.0/
10 and so on will also be denied. So, to restrict the filter to 10.0.0.0/8 only, configure an extended
access list with the following format: access-list 101 deny 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255
255.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
