New Prefix list Router
The FortiGate unit attempts to match a packet against the rules in a prefix list starting
at the top of the list. If it finds a match for the prefix, it takes the action specified for that
prefix. If no match is found the default action is deny.
For a prefix list to take effect it must be called by another FortiGate routing feature
such as RIP or OSPF.
