set as-path
Overview
Use this command to add an AS path set clause to a route map entry.
When a BGP update message matches the route map entry, the device prepends
the specified Autonomous System Number (ASN) or ASNs to the update’s AS path
attribute.
The AS path attribute is a list of the autonomous systems through which the
announcement for the prefix has passed. As prefixes pass between autonomous
systems, each autonomous system adds its ASN to the beginning of the list. This
means that the AS path attribute can be used to make routing decisions.
Use the
no
variant of this command to remove the set clause.
Syntax
set as-path prepend <
1-65535
> [<
1-65535
>]...
no set as-path prepend [<
1-65535
> [<
1-65535
>]...]
Mode
Route-map mode
Usage
Use the
set as-path
command to specify an autonomous system path. By
specifying the length of the AS-Path, the device influences the best path selection
by a neighbor. Use the
prepend
parameter with this command to prepend an AS
path string to routes increasing the AS path length.
This command is valid for BGP update messages only.
Example
To use entry
3
of the route map called
myroute
to prepend ASN
8
and
24
to the
AS path of matching update messages, use the commands:
awplus#
configure terminal
awplus(config)#
route-map myroute permit 3
awplus(config-route-map)#
set as-path prepend 8 24
