confederation
Configures an identifier for a BGP confederation.
Syntax
confederation {identifier as-num | peers as-number}
Parameters
● identifier as-num —Enter an AS number, from 0 to 65535 for 2 bytes, 1 to 4294967295 for 4
bytes, or 0.1 to 65535.65535 for dotted format.
● peers as-number—Enter an AS number for peers in the BGP confederation, from 1 to
4294967295.
Default Not configured
Command Mode ROUTER-BGP
Usage
Information
Configure your system to accept 4-byte formats before entering a 4-byte AS number. All routers in the
Confederation must be 4-byte or 2-byte identified routers. You cannot have a mix of 2-byte and 4-byte
identified routers. The autonomous system number that you configure in this command is visible to the
EBGP neighbors. Each autonomous system is fully meshed and contains a few connections to other
autonomous systems. The next-hop (MED) and local preference information is preserved throughout the
confederation. The system accepts confederation EBGP peers without a LOCAL_PREF attribute. OS10
sends AS_CONFED_SET and accepts AS_CONFED_SET and AS_CONF_SEQ. The no version of this
command deletes the confederation configuration.
NOTE: To configure these settings for a nondefault VRF instance, you must first enter the ROUTER-
CONFIG-VRF sub mode using the following commands:
1. Enter the ROUTER BGP mode using the router bgp as-number command.
