Uh. Just modify BGP routes from that feed to have a next hop pointing to a black hole. route-maps are sometimes useful.
Could someone PLEASE explain to me how this is accomplished?
Let's assume that you do use a route-map to set next hop to a null interface or a black hole or something for a prefix. AND set local pref appropriately so that route gets preferred.
You now have a routing entry which essentially says:
"forward packets DESTINED FOR the evil network to the black hole".
What you really want is a routing entry which says:
"forward packets FROM the evil network to the black hole".
Now, if someone could enlighten me to a way which you can get BGP to make a routing/filter entry to do this second one, I'd be most grateful.
Why wouldn't this work (on IOS 11.3 at least): a) pick an unused interface (shutdown): inter s0/2 ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.252 shutdown ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 Null0 254 b) Say the spammer is 220.88.182.128/27: access-list 20 permit 220.88.182.128 0.0.0.31 route-map spam-filter permit 10 match ip address 20 set ip default next-hop 192.168.1.6 c) On your Fast Ethernet - or whatever interface you use to feed pkts to your outgoing lines: int fa1/0 ip policy route-map spam-filter All outgoing pkts to 220.88.192.128/27 now should go to Null0. I am sure one can improve on the logic even more. -Hank
