Static Route Discard Configuration
This chapter show how to configure the static route discard feature.
Overview
If you identify some routers/attackers distributing invalid/bogus routes just to use the resources of the device or to make the device unstable, you can configure route-map rules, discard all routes, and black hole traffic corresponding to those routes.
To so this, you add “discard” route entries for a prefix in a route map with the “set interface null0” command. You then apply that route map to a BGP neighbor.
IPv4 Route Discard
Figure 23-133 shows the configuration required to enable static route discard for IPv4.
