Generalized TTL security mechanism support
The BigIron RX supports the Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) as defined in RFC 3682.
GTSM provides a means of protecting the Brocade device from attacks where invalid BGP control
traffic is sent to the device in order to overload the CPU or hijack the BGP session. GTSM protection
applies to EBGP neighbors only.
When GTSM protection is enabled, BGP control packets sent by the Brocade device to its neighbor
have a Time To Live (TTL) value of 255. In addition, the Brocade device expects the BGP control
packets received from the neighbor to have a TTL value of either 254 or 255. For multihop peers
(where the ebgp-multihop option is configured for the neighbor) the Brocade device expects the TTL
for BGP control packets received from the neighbor to be greater than or equal to 255, minus the
configured number of hops to the neighbor. If the BGP control packets received from the neighbor
do not have the anticipated value, they are dropped by the Brocade device.
For more information on GTSM protection, see RFC 3682.
To enable GTSM protection for neighbor 192.168.9.210, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 192.168.9.210 ebgp-btsh
