Fix Recommendation

Ensure all eBGP routers are configured to limit the prefix size on any route advertisement to /24 or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer.

Step 1: Configure a prefix list for each customer containing prefixes belonging to each.

OS10(config)# ip prefix-list LONG_PREFIX_FILTER permit 0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 le 24
OS10(config)# ip prefix-list LONG_PREFIX_FILTER deny 0.0.0.0/0

Step 2: Configure the route map referencing the configured prefix list.

OS10(config)# route-map LONG_PREFIX_FILTER_MAP 50
OS10(config-route-map)# match ip address prefix-list LONG_PREFIX_FILTER
OS10(config-route-map)# exit

Step 3: Apply the route-map outbound to each external BGP neighbor.

OS10(config)# router bgp 10
OS10(config-router-bgp-10)# neighbor 50.1.1.1
OS10(config-router-neighbor)# address-family ipv4 unicast
OS10(config-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# route-map LONG_PREFIX_FILTER_MAP in
OS10(config-router-bgp-neighbor-af)# exit
OS10(config-router-neighbor)# exit
OS10(config-router-bgp-10)# exit

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Review the router configuration to verify that there is a filter to reject inbound route advertisements that are greater than /24 or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer, whichever is larger.

The prefix filter must be referenced outbound on the appropriate BGP neighbor statements.

Step 1: Verify prefix lists have been configured for each customer containing prefixes that belong to that customer.

OS10# show running-configuration prefix-list
!
ip prefix-list LONG_PREFIX_FILTER permit 0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 le 24
ip prefix-list LONG_PREFIX_FILTER deny 0.0.0.0/0

Step 2: Verify the route map applied to the external neighbors references the configured prefix list shown above.

OS10# show running-configuration route-map
!
route-map LONG_PREFIX_FILTER_MAP permit 50
match ip address prefix-list LONG_PREFIX_FILTER

Step 3: Verify the route map applied to the external neighbors references the appropriate route maps shown above.

!
router bgp 10
!
neighbor 50.1.1.1
!
address-family ipv4 unicast
route-map LONG_PREFIX_FILTER_MAP in

If the router is not configured to limit the prefix size on any inbound route advertisement to /24 or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer, this is a finding.
