Configuring 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 CEs in different geographical
areas 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.

Figure 86 AS number substitution configuration

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.
To configure AS number substitution for a peer or peer group:
