You can only advertise your prefix [after running pre-flight checks](/magic-transit/get-started/#5-run-pre-flight-checks) with Cloudflare.

You should also be aware that announcing or withdrawing a prefix should propagate across Cloudflare's global network almost instantly, with changes typically taking effect within a few minutes at most. However, Cloudflare has no control over how long ISPs take to refresh their routes. Keep this in mind when announcing or withdrawing a prefix from your account, and plan accordingly.

Use BGP to control the advertisement status of your prefix - advertised or withdrawn - from Cloudflare's global network for on-demand deployment scenarios. BGP Control works by establishing BGP sessions to Cloudflare's globally distributed Route Reflectors, which will initiate propagation of your prefix advertisement across Cloudflare's global network.
