Did your transit provider give you a community-string to match - usually their 'AS:arbitrary-number'? Traditionally, what happens is they look for a BGP community string to match and then accept the null route. So you have a send-community as a neighbor statement with a route-map and prefix-list

If I understand you correctly, wouldn't one need an extra entry in the OUTBOUND prefix-list that allows host routes to be advertised to the transit?: Steve, that was exactly the problem. I've been meaning to give an update. Kevin helped me off-list find the issue. After adding host-routes to

Glad to hear that you got it working! Thanks. Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing the specific pref list entry you ended up using? Was it simply 'everything/32'? Tinkering with the prefix-list at first, got the results I expected. I was redistributing the static routes to BGP,

If I blackhole/sinkhole an external-to-my-ARIN-block IP that is attacking my network, I'm deathly afraid that I may accidentally advertise it to a peer. Hadn't thought about it, but yeah, requiring a very long prefix length before appending RTBH prefixes would be a good safety measure. I

I'm unsure if it's working or not, but since the nulled routes don't appear to be advertised to the transit peer, I'm assuming not. Does a 'sh ip route' for the /32 indicate that its being redistributed? If you do a 'sh ip bgp nei nei adver' does it show it being advertised?

Does a 'sh ip route' for the /32 indicate that its being redistributed? If you do a 'sh ip bgp nei nei adver' does it show it being advertised? Below I pasted excerpts from the router. The route appears to be redistributed by the correct route-map. The STATIC-TO-BGP map proceeds to set the
