Do you actually need to drop the session, or is it sufficient to advertise zero prefixes? If the latter, you could apply a route-map outbound towards the customer that only allows the "local" internet routes to be advertised to them, by setting/matching communities appropriately. For example: route-map transit-in permit 10 set community YOURAS:1234 ip community-list standard LOCAL-ROUTES permit YOURAS:1234 route-map customer-out permit 10 match community LOCAL-ROUTES Similar can be applied in reverse to prevent the customer's routes being advertised out transit links other than the local one. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
