Advanced Configuration and Management Guide

NOTE: The command syntax shown above is new beginning with software release 06.6.X. However, the neighbor <ip-addr> distribute-list in out <num> command (where the direction is specified before the filter number) is the same as in earlier software releases. Use the new syntax when you are using an IP ACL or IP prefix list with the distribute list. Use the old syntax when you are using a BGP4 address filter with the distribute list.
