mac list in Cisco

[Girish Nagaraj]

For IP we have prefix-list and ACL, I am aware of difference between them.

For MAC ACL already exists, do we have the prefix-list equivalent for MAC addresses ?

For example: to use in BGP EVPN route filtering using host MAC address

Hi @Girish Nagaraj,
No, there is no prefix-list equivalent for MAC addresses. Prefix-lists are for IP filtering only. For BGP EVPN route filtering based on MAC addresses, you should use a route map with the command {match evpn mac <MAC>}. This allows you to match and filter MACs in Type-2 EVPN routes

""""""prefix-list only work with IPv4 or IPv6""""""""
