Full internet routes

[Heimire]

One suggestion to solve a black hole problem is to receive full internet routes on the pfsense firewalls we have with BGP.

is pfsense capable of doing so.
Each firewall has 8gb of memory.

I have no idea of what it means, consequence or requirements doing so.
I have no idea how to make it happen either.

Looking for info to decide if this is a possible solution or not.

Thanks.

what problem? who's suggestion? is someone feeding you quotes from the bofh archive ?

The problem is that we had our traffic black holed by a faulty policy in a Level 3 data center.
One of the suggestions was to carry a full internet route to bypass theirs.

I am thinking the fail over monitoring on the routes might be an easier way of doing it.
I asked in a thread a few posts down from this one.
It explains it a little better.

Basically, trying to prevent if another human error happens again.

Shouldn't be a problem getting full routes in OpenBGP on your hardware. Make sure you are only advertising what you need to (generally self)
