Filtering Bogon ASNs

Bogon ASN filtering

Original publication: http://as2914.net/bogon_asns/configuration_examples.txt

Purpose

Private or Reserved ASNs have no place in the public DFZ. Barring these from the DFZ helps improve accountability and dampen accidental exposure of internal routing artifacts.

All modern devices support 4-byte ASNs. Any occurrence of “23456” in the DFZ is a either a misconfiguration or software issue.

Rejecting all EBGP routes which contain a Bogon ASN anywhere in the AS_PATH is a form of Fail-fast.

This is not recommanded. Mikrotik will take a very very long time to process all those routes and has some issues with BGP.
