Description
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.

Review the router configuration to verify that it will reject BGP routes for any Bogon prefixes. Step 1: Verify a prefix list has been configured containing the current Bogon prefixes as shown in the example below. ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 5 deny 0.0.0.0/8 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 10 deny 10.0.0.0/8 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 15 deny 100.64.0.0/10 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 20 deny 127.0.0.0/8 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 25 deny 169.254.0.0/16 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 30 deny 172.16.0.0/12 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 35 deny 192.0.2.0/24 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 40 deny 192.88.99.0/24 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 45 deny 192.168.0.0/16 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 50 deny 198.18.0.0/15 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 55 deny 198.51.100.0/24 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 60 deny 203.0.113.0/24 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 65 deny 224.0.0.0/4 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 70 deny 240.0.0.0/4 le 32 ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER seq 75 permit 0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 Step 2: Verify that the prefix list has been applied to all external BGP peers as shown in the example below. router bgp xx no synchronization bgp log-neighbor-changes neighbor x.1.1.9 remote-as yy neighbor x.1.1.9 prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER in neighbor x.2.1.7 remote-as zz neighbor x.2.1.7 prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER in Route Map Alternative Verify that the route map applied to the external neighbors references the configured Bogon prefix list shown above. router bgp xx no synchronization bgp log-neighbor-changes neighbor x.1.1.9 remote-as yy neighbor x.1.1.9 route-map FILTER_PREFIX_MAP neighbor x.2.1.7 remote-as zz neighbor x.2.1.7 route-map FILTER_PREFIX_MAP … route-map FILTER_PREFIX_MAP permit 10 match ip address prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER If the router is not configured to reject inbound route advertisements for any Bogon prefixes, this is a finding.

Configure the router to reject inbound route advertisements for any Bogon prefixes. Step 1: Configure a prefix list containing the current Bogon prefixes as shown below. R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 0.0.0.0/8 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 10.0.0.0/8 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 100.64.0.0/10 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 127.0.0.0/8 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 169.254.0.0/16 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 172.16.0.0/12 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 192.0.2.0/24 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 192.88.99.0/24 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 192.168.0.0/16 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 198.18.0.0/15 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 198.51.100.0/24 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 203.0.113.0/24 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 224.0.0.0/4 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 240.0.0.0/4 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER deny 240.0.0.0/4 le 32 R1(config)#ip prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER permit 0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 Step 2: Apply the prefix list filter inbound to each external BGP neighbor as shown in the example. R1(config)#router bgp xx R1(config-router)#neighbor x.1.1.9 prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER in R1(config-router)#neighbor x.2.1.7 prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER in Route Map Alternative Step 1: Configure the route map referencing the configured prefix list above. R1(config)#route-map FILTER_PREFIX_MAP 10 R1(config-route-map)#match ip address prefix-list PREFIX_FILTER R1(config-route-map)#exit Step 2: Apply the route-map inbound to each external BGP neighbor as shown in the example. R1(config)#router bgp xx R1(config-router)#neighbor x.1.1.9 route-map FILTER_PREFIX_MAP in R1(config-router)#neighbor x.2.1.7 route-map FILTER_PREFIX_MAP in R1(config-router)#end
