actually, i think that the following would do the same:

access-list 101 permit ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.255

don't have any way of testing right now... anyone confirm/deny?

Thanks,
Charles

Prefix lists can permit annoucements in a range of netmasks. For example,
the following prefix-list entry will permit announcements of
192.168.1.0/24, or any prefix within that.

ip prefix-list example seq 5 permit 192.168.1.0/24 le 32

I don't believe there's a way to do that using access-lists.

The other major advantage is you can pull entries out of a sequence, and
insert them without re-writing the entire prefix-list again. For example,
'no ip prefix-list example seq 10' will remove only sequence 10, rather
than the entire prefix list.

These two features however need to ba taken with a grain of salt. Firstly
you may want explicit routing control rather than a blanket cover, and
secondly configurations like this are usually built out of databases so
you're not going to be manually inserting entries.
