Is true this issue:

An implicit deny all is at the end of every prefix list.

Tanks,

That is the case for every kind of Cisco access list that I can
think of at the moment.

Keep in mind, though, that in a number of situations, a
"deny" entry, whether implicit or explicit, does not necessarily
mean "block the traffic". Instead, a "deny" entry may just mean
"this policy does not apply; try the next policy". Then you
encounter the question of what happens if you run out of policies
without having matched anything; that varies with context and
with what else you have configured.

Tank you, now the question is:
what happens if you run out of prefix-list without having matched
anything?

I have configured a prefix-list whit only one entry:

ip prefix-list Example seq 5 deny 1.1.1.0/24

This prefix-list deny all prefix.

How can I set the equivalent of access-list 'permit-any' as last entry
of that prefix-list?

BR
Sergio
