Hi John,

Just wondering whether you are advertising 150.1.x.x/24 in the network
statement of BGP.

If that is the case then the network will not be even in the local BGP table
as BGP looks for a exact match in the routing table before entering in the
BGP table.

If you just advertise 150.1.x.0/24 in the network statement itself , there
will be no need to apply prefix list for route maps.

Correct me if I have misunderstood your query.

Regards

Anshuk
