| Description |
| Verifying the path a route has traversed will ensure the IP core is not used as a transit network for unauthorized or possibly even internet traffic. All autonomous system boundary routers (ASBRs) must ensure updates received from eBGP peers list their AS number as the first AS in the AS_PATH attribute. |

| Review the router configuration to verify the router is configured to deny updates received from eBGP peers that do not list their AS number as the first AS in the AS_PATH attribute. router bgp local-as 1000 neighbor 10.1.1.1 remote-as 1100 neighbor 10.1.1.1 enforce-first-as enable If the router is not configured to enforce the first AS in the AS_PATH attribute for eBGP peers, this is a finding. |
