Allowing an AS Number to Appear in its Own AS Path

This command allows you to set the number of times a particular AS number can occur in the AS path.

The allow-as feature permits a BGP speaker to allow the ASN to be present for a specified number of times in the update received from the peer, even if that ASN matches its own. The AS-PATH loop is detected if the local ASN is present more than the specified number of times in the command.
Allow this neighbor ID to use the AS path the specified number of times.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} allowas-in number
  • peer-group-name: 16 characters.
  • Number: 1 through 10.
Format: IP Address: A.B.C.D and IPv6 adress: X:X:X:X::X.
You must Configure Peer Groups before assigning it to an AS.

Example of Viewing AS Numbers in AS Paths

The lines shown in bold are the number of times ASN 65123 can appear in the AS path (allows–in 9).

To disable this feature, use the no neighbor allow-as in number command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode.
