I would rather find a way to actively route all traffic from the unassigned subnets to something I can use to detect the presence of rogue devices.
I earlier wrote "Install a lowest-priority static null route to 10.0.0.0/8 at your core" to discard the rogues. Looking at it now, that isn't clear. I meant a "lowest-priority static route for 10.0.0.0/8 *to* null". This of course will only discard packets that have a *destination* on an invalid network. If your core switch/router supports uRPF, and you have it turned on, this will also discard packets with a *source* on an invalid network. As for "redirecting" packets sourced from an invalid network, you can do this with some extra trouble with policy routing, along the lines of: route-map catch-invalid-sources permit 10 match ip address invalid-nets set ip next-hop your.tarpit.ip.address ip access-list standard invalid-nets deny 10.10.x.x 0.0.255.255 (say that 10.10 is valid) permit 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 (while any other 10. is not) Policy routing is going to cost you some horsepower. Your mileage may vary. Jeff
