Geert,

It's safe to block this. It's not used on the internet and should not be
coming into your router as a source address.

If you look at the autosecure 12.3 feature, it is blocked as well :

Kind regards,

Hi group,

I just came across an ACL on an internet router containing the line:

access-list 110 deny ip 0.0.0.0 0.255.255.255

And i was wondering, the first class A network: 0.x.x.x
Is this a valid network ? Is this network distributed to a company on the
internet ??

If so, then i can't filter it off.
If not official, i can filter it completely off to prevent hackers spoofing
these addresses.....

Regards,
Geert
