Historically the easiest way to do this was to configure some type of SPAN port on a switch to copy the traffic to your pack capture device. With today’s less expensive and more powerful hardware it should come as no surprise that this functionality is now available on network hardware it’s self.
Understanding Prefix Lists
When filtering and manipulating routing protocols and routing updates there are a number of options on the Cisco platforms we as engineers can take advantage of. In a previous post I briefly discussed the use of standard ACL’s to filter updates. ACLs filter every packet, or in this case advertised network, that falls within the […]
EIGRP Route Filtering with ACLs
There are a number of reasons to implement route filtering. The filters can be used to control what routes are sent as well as what routes are learned from a neighbor. With ACLs the configuration is very flexible so just about anything is possible!
