Note: in the real world, the longest prefix allowed in the DFZ is /24. So
realistically, a /25 prefix will not be accepted by any of the peers, and
therefore hijacking with /25 prefixes will not work (but one can still hijack a
/23 with two /24s with the same principle). In our emulator, we did not enforce
the maximum prefix length.

After making the change, ask the BGP router to reload configuration file
using the following command.
