As seen in the example in Regular Expressions as filters, the expressions are displayed when using the 
show commands. Use the show config command in the CONFIGURATION AS-PATH ACL mode and 
the 
show ip as-path-access-list command in EXEC Privilege mode to view the AS-PATH ACL 
configuration.
For more information on this command and route filtering, refer to Filter BGP routes.
Redistribute routes
In addition to filtering routes, you can add routes from other routing instances or protocols to the BGP 
process. With the 
redistribute command syntax, you can include ISIS, OSPF, static, or directly connected 
routes in the BGP process.
Use any of the following commands in ROUTER BGP mode to add routes from other routing instances or 
protocols.
( ) (parenthesis) Specifies patterns for multiple use when followed by one of the multiplier metacharacters: asterisk *, 
plus sign +, or question mark ? 
[ ] (brackets) Matches any enclosed character; specifies a range of single characters
- (hyphen) Used within brackets to specify a range of AS or community numbers.
_ (underscore) Matches a ^, a $, a comma, a space, a {, or a }. Placed on either side of a string to specify a literal and 
disallow substring matching. Numerals enclosed by underscores can be preceded or followed by any of 
the characters listed above.
| (pipe) Matches characters on either side of the metacharacter; logical OR.
