Usage 
Information

You cannot disable leaking from Level 1 to Level 2. Also, you cannot enable leaking 
from Level 2 to Level 1. However, you can regulate the rate flow from one level to 
another using an IP Prefix list. If you do not configure the IP Prefix list, all Level 1 
routes are leaked.

You can find more information in IETF RFC 2966, Domain-wide Prefix Distribution
