Discussion

ISPs use BGP to share route information with other autonomous systems (i.e., other ISPs and corporate networks). If the perimeter router was configured to BGP peer with an ISP, NIPRnet routes could be advertised to the ISP; thereby creating a backdoor connection from the internet to the NIPRnet. This requirement also applies to Zero Trust initiatives.

Review the configuration of the router connecting to the alternate gateway.

Verify there are no BGP neighbors configured to the remote AS that belongs to the alternate gateway service provider.
