ip prefix-list bad-nets-in description input prefix-list for BGP sessions
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 1 deny 0.0.0.0/1 ge 21
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 2 deny 0.0.0.0/8 le 32
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 3 deny 10.0.0.0/8 le 32
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 4 deny 127.0.0.0/8 le 32
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 5 deny 128.0.0.0/2 ge 21
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 6 deny 128.0.0.0/16 le 32
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 7 deny 169.254.0.0/16 le 32
ip prefix-list bad-nets-in seq 8 deny 172.16.0.0/12 le 32
