Boorder Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementations from multiple vendors including Juniper may not properly handle specially crafted BGP UPDATE messages. These vulnerabilities could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service. Disrupting BGP communication could lead to routing instability. The risk is LOW. A remote attacker could cause a denial of servcie by injecting a specially crafted BGP UPDATE message into a legitimate BGP session. An attacker with a configured BGP session could attack targets several BGP hops away, or an attacker could spoof TCP traffic.
Dear friends
I use RedHat 6.5, which sets the gateway in the configuration file / etc / sysconfig / network as GATEWAY = 192.168.1.26, and the gateway in the configuration file / etc / sysconfig / network-scripts / ifcfg-eth11 as GATEWAY = 192.168.1.256. The two gateways are different.... (6 Replies)

dear friends ,
how can I use the SNMP protocol to monitor the network and send notification alerts to the clients which have windows machines.
I found the utility snmp_trapsend at the directory /usr/sbin ,how can I use this command ??

gated - gateway routing daemon
SYNOPSIS
buffer_size] trace_options] config_file] [trace_file]
DESCRIPTION
is a routing daemon that handles multiple routing protocols and replaces routed, egpup, and any routing daemon that speaks the HELLO rout-
ing protocol. currently handles the RIP, BGP, EGP, HELLO, and OSPF routing protocols. The process can be configured to perform all rout-
ing protocols or any subset of them (see below).
Options
The command-line options are:
Specifies a buffer size for the socket read/write buffer. The buffer size should not be less than one MB (megabyte) and should not exceed
the available system memory. If this option is not specified, the buffer size will be set to the available system memory.
Specifies that the configuration file will be parsed for syntax errors
and then will exit. will leave a dump file in if there were no errors. does not need to be run as the superuser to use the option
but it may not be possible to read the kernel forwarding table and interface configuration if not run as superuser. The option
implies All trace_option clauses in the configuration file will be ignored.
Specifies that the configuration file will just be parsed for syntax
errors. will exit with a status 1 if there were any errors and 0 (zero) if there were not. does not need to be run as the supe-
ruser to use the option but it may not be possible to read the kernel forwarding table and interface configuration if not run as the
superuser.
Specifies that
will not modify the kernel forwarding table. This is used for testing configurations with actual routing data.
Specifies that
will not daemonize. Normally, if tracing to stderr is not specified will daemonize if the parent process ID is not that of the ini-
tialization process (aka This allows the use of an method of invoking that does not have a PID of the initialization process.
Specifies that
will add routes to the kernel in the decreasing order of IP addresses of gateways when there are multiple routes to a destination.
Specifies a comma separated list of
trace options to be enabled on startup. If no flags are specified, is assumed. No space is allowed between this option and it's
arguments.
This option must be used to trace events that take place before the configuration file is parsed, such as determining the interface
configuration and reading routes from the kernel.
See the for valid trace options and a more detailed explanation of tracing.
Use an alternate config file. By default,
uses
trace_file
Trace file in which to place trace information.
If a trace file is specified on the command line, or no trace flags are specified on the command line, detaches from the terminal
and runs in the background. If trace flags are specified without specifying a trace file, assumes that tracing is desired to stderr
and remains in the foreground.
Signal Processing
The following signals may be used to control
Re-read configuration.
A causes to reread the configuration file. first performs a clean-up of all allocated policy structures. All BGP and
EGP peers are flagged for deletion and the configuration file is re-parsed.
If the re-parse is successful, any BGP and EGP peers that are no longer in the configuration are shut down, and new
peers are started. attempts to determine if changes to existing peers require a shutdown and restart. OSPF is not
capable of reconfiguring; it is shutdown and restarted during a reconfiguration. This may have an adverse impact on the
routing system.
It should also be possible to enable/disable any protocol without restarting
Snap-shot of current state.
The current state of all tasks, timers, protocols and tables are written to
On systems supporting this is done by forking a subprocess to dump the table information so as not to impact routing
functions. On systems where memory management does not support copy-on-write, this will cause the address space to be
duplicated; this may cause a noticeable impact on the system. On system not supporting the main process immediately
processes the dump, which may impact routing functions.
Graceful shutdown.
On receipt of a attempts a graceful shutdown. All tasks and protocols are asked to shutdown. Most will terminate imme-
diately, the exception being EGP peers which wait for confirmation. It may be necessary to repeat the once or twice if
it this process takes too long.
All protocol routes are removed from the kernel's routing table on receipt of a Interface routes, routes with RTF_STATIC
set (from the route command where supported) and static routes specifying will remain. To terminate with the exterior
routes intact, use
Toggle tracing.
On receipt of a will close the trace file. A subsequent will cause it to be reopened. This will allow the file to be
moved regularly.
It is not possible to use if a trace file has not been specified, or tracing is being performed to stderr.
Check for interface changes.
On receipt of a will rescan the kernel interface list looking for changes.
WARNINGS
contains provisions for BGP protocol, but it is not officially supported by HP at the present time. Some RIP version 2 features (RFC1388)
are not currently supported: MIB and route tag. The optional OSPF version 2 (RFC1247) feature of TOS (type of service) based routing is
not supported. The route aggregation, generating a more general route from compressing the specific routes through the explicit configu-
ration, is not supported in this release.
