Enabling four-byte autonomous system numbers
You can enable 4-byte support for conguring autonomous system numbers (ASN).
To enable 4-byte support for the BGP process, use the following command.
NOTE
: When creating BGP confederations, all the routers in the Confederation must be a 4-byte or 2-byte identied routers. You 
cannot mix them.
• Enable 4-byte support for the BGP process.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp four-octect-as-support
NOTE
: If you enter a 4-byte AS number, 4-byte AS support is enabled automatically. This command is optional. Use it only 
if you support 4-Byte AS numbers or if you support AS4 number representation.
Disable 4-Byte support and return to the default 2-Byte format by using the no bgp four-octet-as-support command. You 
cannot disable 4-Byte support if you currently have a 4-Byte ASN congured.
Example conguration for enabling four-byte autonomous system numbers
DellEMC# configure terminal
DellEMC(conf)# router bgp 80000
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# bgp four-octet-as-support
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 20.20.20.1 remote-as 200
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)# neighbor 20.20.20.1 no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-router_bgp)#exit
To view BGP conguration, use the show running-config bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode.
The following example shows the show ip bgp summary command output (4–byte AS number displays).
R2#show ip bgp summary
