F5 BGP question

Hi, I am interested in licensing the BGP service from F5. One thing I want to do know is:

 

  • If I have a /24 and I experience an attack, will F5 be able to tell me which IP on my /24 faced an attack?

  • are you talking about the routing license on BIG-IP or the Silverline managed service?

    BGP and attack vectors are mostly unrelated (other than BGP can present a network to the internet and thus exposing it to attack).

     

    There are many things F5 BigIP can detect and report on regarding layer 3 attacks. AFM and ASM provide some of those, as well as services like Silverline and IP Intelligence. The first 3 should be able to give you a report on the attacked IP, the last just blocks known bad actors before they attack anything.
