You must Configure Peer Groups before assigning it to an AS. This feature is not supported on passive
peer groups.
Example of the Verifying that Local AS Numbering is Disabled
The first line in bold shows the actual AS number. The second two lines in bold show the local AS number
(6500) maintained during migration.
To disable this feature, use the no neighbor local-as command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP
mode.

Allowing an AS Number to Appear in its Own AS Path
This command allows you to set the number of times a particular AS number can occur in the AS path.
The allow-as feature permits a BGP speaker to allow the ASN to be present for a specified number of
times in the update received from the peer, even if that ASN matches its own. The AS-PATH loop is
detected if the local ASN is present more than the specified number of times in the command.
• Allow this neighbor ID to use the AS path the specified number of times.
