Configuring AS number substitution

IMPORTANT:

Do not configure AS number substitution in normal circumstances. Otherwise, routing loops might occur.

To use BGP between PE and CE in MPLS L3VPN, VPN sites in different geographical areas should have
different AS numbers. Otherwise, BGP discards route updates containing the local AS number. If two CEs

connected to different PEs use the same AS number, you must configure AS number substitution on each

PE. This substitution can replace the AS number in route updates originated by the remote CE as its own

AS number before advertising them to the connected CE.
