I understand the le and ge, but the 192.54.4.0/23 bit I don't get.
I have tried it and it works but I just need to get my head round it.
How does the /23 incorporate the 5 subnet aswell?

Hi Lee,
Did you try those three lines together ?
ip prefix-list cisco permit 192.54.1.0/24
ip prefix-list cisco permit 192.54.2.0/24
ip prefix-list cisco permit 192.54.4.0/23 ge 24 le 24
In terms of methodology, the /xx means the mask length, just as if you
were using an access-list. So, you apply a mask of 23 bits to filter
the bits in the network, and whatever is included in this mask can go
through, on the condition that its prefix length respects the ge / le
options that may be added. These ge / le options apply to the prefix
length in the advertisement. Using both le 24 and ge 24 is a way to
say "equal", since the only way to be "less or equal" and "greater or
equal" at the same time is to be precisely equal.
