| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Review the router configuration to verify that there is a filter defined to block route advertisements for prefixes that belong to the IP core. The prefix filter must be referenced outbound on the appropriate BGP neighbor statements. If the router is not configured to reject outbound route advertisements that belong to the IP core, this is a finding. |
