Discussion

Outbound route advertisements belonging to the core can result in traffic either looping or being black holed, or at a minimum, using a nonoptimized path.

Check Content

Review the router configuration to verify a filter is defined to block route advertisements for prefixes that belong to the IP core. 

Verify a BGP "Export Policy" is applied to the neighbor using the command below: 

- show router bgp neighbor 10.50.10.2 detail | match "Export Policy"
Export Policy        : Export-Route-EBGP

If the router is not configured to reject outbound route advertisements that belong to the IP core, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure all eBGP routers to filter outbound route advertisements belonging to the IP core, as shown in the example below: 

Create a prefix-list:

- configure router policy-options
- config>router>policy-options# begin
- config>router>policy-options# prefix-list "Core-IP-Prefix"
- config>router>policy-options>prefix-list# prefix 192.168.100.10/32
- config>router>policy-options>prefix-list# exit

Create a policy statement: 

- config>router>policy-options# policy-statement "Export-Route-EBGP"
- config>router>policy-options>policy-statement# entry 10
- config>router>policy-options>policy-statement>entry# from prefix-list "Core-IP-Prefix"
- config>router>policy-options>policy-statement>entry# action drop
- config>router>policy-options>policy-statement>entry>action# exit
- config>router>policy-options>policy-statement>entry# exit
- config>router>policy-options>policy-statement# exit
- config>router>policy-options# commit
- config>router>policy-options# exit all

Apply the export policy to the BGP:

- configure router bgp group "eBGP-65560" export "Export-Route-EBGP"
