<tag>ttl security [<m/switch/ | tx only]</tag>
TTL security is a feature that protects routing protocols
from remote spoofed packets by using TTL 255 instead of TTL 1
for protocol packets destined to neighbors. Because TTL is
decremented when packets are forwarded, it is non-trivial to
spoof packets with TTL 255 from remote locations. Note that
this option would interfere with OSPF virtual links.
If this option is enabled, the router will send OSPF packets
with TTL 255 and drop received packets with TTL less than
255. If this option si set to <cf/tx only/, TTL 255 is used
for sent packets, but is not checked for received
packets. Default value is no.

TTL security is a feature that protects routing protocols

for protocol packets destined to neighbors. Because TTL is
decremented when packets are forwarded, it is non-trivial to
spoof packets with TTL 255 from remote locations.

with TTL 255 and drop received packets with TTL less than
255. If this option si set to <cf/tx only/, TTL 255 is used
for sent packets, but is not checked for received
packets. Such setting does not offer protection, but offers
compatibility with neighbors regardless of whether they use
ttl security.
Note that for RIPng, TTL security is a standard behavior
(required by RFC 2080), but BIRD uses <cf/tx only/ by
default, for compatibility with older versions. For IPv4 RIP,
default value is no.
