displays the number of BGP announcements (routing updates) that are active. The number
is red when there is at least one active BGP announcement sent through a BGP Connector configured for mitigation
(black hole filtering), or blue when all active BGP announcements were sent through BGP Connectors configured for
traffic diversion.
The
BGP Operations
tab displays all BGP announcements sent by Wanguard and provides a way for Console
users to send BGP routing updates manually. The tab contains 3 sub-tabs, located at the lower left side of the
window:
Active BGP Announcements
It displays all active BGP announcements sent by Sensors, Filters, and Console users.
Console users can send or withdraw BGP announcements manually. To send a new BGP announcement, click
the <
Black Hole
> or the <
Divert Traffic
> button and select a previously configured BGP Connector (see page 51) for
Mitigation or Diversion
.
The <
Remove All
> button inactivates the active announcements by manipulating the database directly and
without using the BGP Connector.
When there is at least one active BGP announcement, the following table is displayed:
BGP Connector
Which BGP Connector was used to sent the routing update.
When Grouping is set to “BGP Connector”, clicking it allows you to delete all announcements that used
it, with a single click.
Role
Role configured for the BGP Connector. Can be
Unset
,
Mitigation
or
Diversion
.
Prefix
Prefix contained in the BGP routing update.
When Grouping is set to “IP/Mask”, clicking it allows you to delete all announcements for that prefix,
with a single click.
Status
A green check mark indicates that announcement was sent successfully. A red “X” icon indicates an
error. Most errors are detailed in BGP Events (see page 69). A warning sign indicates that the anomaly
that triggered the announcement is no longer active, but the announcement still is. In this case, you
should remove the announcement manually and investigate the cause.
Originator
Indicates the username of the Console user that sent the announcement, or the anomaly for which
the announcement was sent automatically. To avoid announcements from overlapping, a single
announcement is actually sent to BGPd when there are multiple anomalies for the same prefix and
BGP Connector.
From
The time when the BGP announcement was sent.
Until
The time when the BGP announcement will be withdrawn.
