Hi,

Koen is correct. There are other networks you can/should consider
blocking that are part of the list known as Bogons/Martians/RFC1918 as
follows:

0.0.0.0/7
2.0.0.0/8
5.0.0.0/8
7.0.0.0/8
10.0.0.0/8
23.0.0.0/8
27.0.0.0/8
31.0.0.0/8
36.0.0.0/7
39.0.0.0/8
41.0.0.0/8
42.0.0.0/8
49.0.0.0/8
50.0.0.0/8
71.0.0.0/8
72.0.0.0/5
89.0.0.0/8
90.0.0.0/7
92.0.0.0/6
96.0.0.0/3
169.254.0.0/16
172.16.0.0/12
173.0.0.0/8
174.0.0.0/7
176.0.0.0/5
184.0.0.0/6
189.0.0.0/8
190.0.0.0/8
192.0.2.0/24
192.168.0.0/16
197.0.0.0/8
198.18.0.0/15
223.0.0.0/8
224.0.0.0/3

Note that the list is somewhat dynamic so you should update it
periodically.

Thanks,

Ian

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,

Koen.

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
