Figure 89 AS number substitution configuration

MPLS backbone

VPNv4_Update:10.1.0.0/16

AS 800

AS 100

CE 1

CE 2

As shown in the above figure, CE 1 and CE 2 use the same AS number of 800. If AS number substitution

for CE 2 is configured on PE 2, and PE 2 receives a BGP update sent from CE 1, PE 2 replaces AS number

800 as its own AS number 100. Similar configuration must also be made on PE 1.
Follow these steps to configure AS number substitution for a peer or peer group:

Ignore the first AS number of eBGP route updates

Typically, BGP checks the AS_PATH attribute of a route update received from a peer. If the first AS number
is not that of the BGP peer, the BGP router discards the route update.
