Using Site Manager
Enabling and Disabling Black Hole Punching
If BGP advertises aggregate routes, you can configure BGP to submit each
aggregate route to the routing table as a black hole. If IP receives a packet that
does not match any of the explicit subnet routes, the black hole route causes it to
discard the packet. (For more information about black hole routes, see “Defining a
Static Black Hole for a Supernet” on page 4-14.)
By default, BGP does not submit a black hole route to the IP routing table for an
aggregate route that it advertises to a BGP peer.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to enable this feature. You can also
configure IP to return an ICMP destination unreachable message to the sender of a
packet to an unknown destination.
