Specify a fake AS number for a peer or peer group

When Router A in AS 2 is moved to AS 3, you can configure Router A to specify a fake AS number of 2

for created connections to eBGP peers or peer groups. In this way, these eBGP peers still think Router A

is in AS 2 and need not change their configurations. This feature ensures uninterrupted BGP services.

Configure AS number substitution

In MPLS L3VPN, if eBGP is used between PE and CE, sites in different geographical areas must have

different AS numbers assigned to ensure correct route advertisement. If different CEs use the same AS
number, you must configure the relevant PE to replace the AS number of the CE as its own AS number.

This feature is used for route advertisement only.
