Configure AS Path Lists

Configure an AS path list to restrict the routing information a router learns or advertises to and from a neighbor. The AS path list acts as a filter that matches AS paths.

Before you begin

  • You configure BGP on a VRF instance the same way you configure the GlobalRouter, except that you must use VRF Router Configuration mode and the prefix ip bgp. The VRF must have an RP Trigger of BGP.

    Note

    Note

    Route refresh is not currently supported on non-default VRFs.

Procedure

  1. Enter BGP Router Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    router bgp

  2. Create the path list:

    ip as-list <1-1024> memberid <0–65535> <permit|deny> as-path WORD<0–1536>

    Use this command for each member by specifying different member IDs.

Example

Create the path list:

Switch(config)# ip as-list 234 memberid 3456 permit as-path "5"

Variable Definitions

The following table defines parameters for the ip as-list command.

<permit|deny>

Permits or denies access for matching conditions.
