If you do it on your cores as opposed to your border routes, it should know. Your core routers probably created the aggregated B that the border routers get from the cores and in turn advertise out. If you want to filter at the borders (which would stop traffic from hitting your core in the first place) that is probably the way to do it, but if you are in a situation where you didn't subnet at the 8bit boundary, or something else, then you may need to run with it, let the traffic hit your core, and filter it from there.
