Description

Syntax Description

Disabled.

Usage Guidelines

Private AS numbers are AS numbers in the range 64512 through 65534. You can remove private AS numbers from the AS path attribute in updates that are sent to external BGP (EBGP) neighbors. Possible reasons for using private AS numbers include:
  • The remote AS does not have officially allocated AS numbers.

  • You want to conserve AS numbers if you are multi-homed to the local AS.

Private AS numbers should not be advertised on the Internet. Private AS numbers can only be used locally within an administrative domain. Therefore, when routes are advertised out to the Internet, the private AS number can be stripped out from the AS paths of the advertised routes using this feature.

This command applies to the current VR or VRF context.

Example

The following command disables the removal of private AS numbers from the AS path in route updates sent to the EBGP peers:

disable bgp neighbor 192.168.1.17 remove-private-AS-numbers
