You can integrate FastNetMon Advanced with VyOS using their official API (available starting version 1.2.x). This integration allows FastNetMon to create or remove routes (blackholes) without using BGP.

To enable this capability please upgrade FastNetMon to version 2.0.359.

To start you need to create API Key on VyOS way:

set service https api keys id key-01 key 'VyOS-super-secret-key'

Then you need to configure following options on FastNetMon:

sudo fcli set main vyos_announce_host true
sudo fcli set main vyos_announce_host_blackhole true
sudo fcli set main vyos_api_urls https://:VyOS-super-secret-key@192.168.1.132
sudo fcli commit

Please note, that we support only blackhole mode and vyos_announce_host_blackhole must be set at all times. In future we will add ability to add regular routes. You can specify multiple VyOS servers in configuration.

To test that integration works fine we recommend manually blocking and then unblocking some test host:

sudo fcli set blackhole 1.2.3.4

Then check list of blocked hosts and get UUID of it:

sudo fcli show blackhole

To unblock host you need to use UUID from previous command and issue following command:

sudo fcli delete blackhole d9b1885f-6d9b-4167-9e3e-0a3198bacee9
