Introduction
In this example, we will show recommended configuration for a Single-homed Single CE device using private AS with an upstream ISP. It is assumed that management of this device will be performed from a dedicated server residing within Customer’s Network.
This type of setup is quite common in an environment where a dedicated firewall performing source NAT function is setup to protect customer infrastructure.
Please note, that the Management Station is connected directly to the LAN interface for illustration purpose only. In real production deployments it must be protected by a firewall.
BGP Configuration
BGP configuration can be split in the following tasks:
- Accept the default route from the ISP while discarding all other advertisements that might be sent to your CE
- Advertise your subnet (120.0.30.0/24) while making sure that no other routers are erroneously injected
- Secure BGP session by configuring a MD5 key
The actual configuration is comprised of the following blocks:
- Configure Local AS Number:
set routing-options autonomous-system 65001
- Configure Two prefix lists – one with the subnet you’ll advertise upstream and the other one with the default route you’ll be receiving from your ISP:
set policy-options prefix-list LocallyOriginated 120.0.30.0/24 set policy-options prefix-list Default 0.0.0.0/0
- Create Policy Statements for the locally originated and default route:
set policy-options policy-statement Direct-To-BGP term 10 from protocol direct set policy-options policy-statement Direct-To-BGP term 10 from prefix-list LocallyOriginated set policy-options policy-statement Direct-To-BGP term 10 then accept set policy-options policy-statement Direct-To-BGP term 999 then reject set policy-options policy-statement Default term 10 from prefix-list Default set policy-options policy-statement Default term 10 then accept set policy-options policy-statement Default term 999 then reject
- Configure BGP Group for your Upstream ISP. Configure the “export” statement to advertise your 120.0.30.0/24 subnet to the Internet and “import” statement to receive the default route. Configure MD5 Authentication Key. Make sure the description field includes the Circuit ID assigned to your link and ISP’s contact phone so you would not need to search for this information in an event of an outage.

Securing the Router
Next step is to secure the router itself. But default, it will pass any traffic (with some exceptions, not covered in this article) and accept connections from anywhere on the Internet. Your job is to make sure that only trusted sources can communicate with your device (control plane protection) and spoofed traffic is not allowed in and out of your network (data plane protection).
Data Plane Protection
We’ll start with the data plane, where we need to take care of packets leaving your network and packets coming in.
In our example, we were assigned a single IP subnet to be used within our network – 120.0.30.0/24. As such, we should only allow traffic originated from this network as well our ISP-facing WAN interface to go out. There are a few ways to achieve this goal – configure uRFP on LAN interface, inbound firewall filter on LAN, or outbound filter on WAN. We’ll use the latter approach by setting up outbound WAN filter:
set firewall family inet filter accept-local term 10 from source-address 120.0.30.0/24 set firewall family inet filter accept-local term 10 then accept set firewall family inet filter accept-local term 20 from source-address 120.0.4.10/32 set firewall family inet filter accept-local term 20 then accept set firewall family inet filter discard-any term 10 then discard set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet filter output-list accept-local set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet filter output-list discard-any
We also need to make sure that the traffic coming from the Internet has a valid source IP. As we do not receive the full BGP feed from our upstream provider and cannot rely on uRPF, we will need to configure static filter that will discard all known “bad” sources also known as Martian blocks, while allowing all other traffic in:
set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc919 from source-address 255.255.255.255/32 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc919 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1122 from source-address 0.0.0.0/8 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1122 from source-address 127.0.0.0/8 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1122 from source-address 240.0.0.0/4 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1122 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1918 from source-address 10.0.0.0/8 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1918 from source-address 172.16.0.0/12 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1918 from source-address 192.168.0.0/16 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc1918 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc2544 from source-address 198.18.0.0/15 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc2544 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc3171 from source-address 224.0.0.0/4 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc3171 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc3927 from source-address 169.254.0.0/16 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc3927 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc5736 from source-address 192.0.0.0/24 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc5736 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc5737 from source-address 192.0.2.0/24 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc5737 from source-address 198.51.100.0/24 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc5737 from source-address 203.0.113.0/24 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc5737 then discard set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc6598 from source-address 100.64.0.0/10 set firewall family inet filter discard-martian term rfc6598 then discard set firewall family inet filter accept-any term 10 then accept set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet filter input-list discard-martian set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet filter input-list discard-local set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet filter input-list accept-any
Control Plane Protection
While it is important to discard malicious traffic that tries to pass through your router, it is even more important to drop bad packets destined to your infrastructure device. All router-bound traffic must be dropped unless it comes from a known and trusted source. In our example, we can trust ISP’s PE router as we’ll be establishing EBGP session with that device and dedicated server (120.0.30.10) used for device management. We will also allow Ping and Traceroute packets. Everything else will be dropped.
