Thanks,
to save everybody trouble...you can't do odds or evens with
prefix-lists....thought you could, but according to the following, it is
not possible:
What you can not do with the prefix-list is match on arbitrary bits like
you can in an access-list.  Prefix-lists cannot be used to check if a
number is even or odd, nor check if a number is divisible by 15, etc...
Bit checking in a prefix-list is sequential, starting with the most
significant (leftmost) bit.

So access list it is for odds and evens :)  Not loosing my head after
all lol

        Ok, feeling stupid this morning, but I can not for the life of

        remember how to do the following:
        Match all odd numbers
        1.1.1.0
        1.1.2.0
        1.1.3.0
        1.1.4.0
        1.1.5.0
        1.1.6.0
        Now, with an access-list, that's easy work
        Access-list 1 per 1.1.1.0 0.0.254.0
        But with a prefix-list, I am all screwed up, any help on this is
most
        welcome!

        I agree. However, we are running the 12.2 train and trying to
replace or
        add statements via sequence numbers is buggy.  Sometimes it
works,
        sometimes not.  However, it always works with prefix-lists.

        IOS does assign a sequence number to standard and extended
access-lists.
        This allows us to remove or add another line anywhere in the
ACL.
