Accepting route advertisements for Bogon prefixes can result in the local autonomous system (AS) becoming a transit for malicious traffic as it will in turn advertise these prefixes to neighbor autonomous systems.
Verify a prefix list exists in the config: SSH@ICX(config)# show ip prefix-lists ip prefix-list PREFIX-FLTR: 1 entries seq 5 deny 0.0.0.0/8 le 32 seq 10 deny 10.0.0.0/8 le 32 ... seq 999 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 8
Confirm that prefix list is applied to BGP: router bgp neighbor x.x.x.x prefix-list PREFIX-FLTR in
If the router is not configured to reject inbound route advertisements for any Bogon prefixes, this is a finding.
Configure eBGP routers to reject inbound route advertisements for any Bogon prefixes.
1. Create the desired prefix list. SSH@ICX(config)# ip prefix PREFIX-FLTR seq 5 deny 0.0.0.0/8 le 32 SSH@BowieLab(config)# ip prefix PREFIX-FLTR seq 10 deny 10.0.0.0/8 le 32 ... SSH@BowieLab(config)# ip prefix PREFIX-FLTR seq 999 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 8
2. Apply to applicable BGP neighbors. router bgp neighbor x.x.x.x prefix-list PREFIX-FLTR in
