– peer-group-name: 16 characters.
–
AS-number: 0 to 65535 (2-Byte) or 1 to 4294967295 (4-Byte) or 0.1 to 65535.65535 (Dotted format).
– No Prepend: species that local AS values are not prepended to announcements from the neighbor.
Format: IPv4 Address: A.B.C.D and IPv6 address: X:X:X:X::X.
You must Congure 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 rst 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 specied 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 specied number of 
times in the command.
• Allow this neighbor ID to use the AS path the specied number of times.

You must Congure Peer Groups before assigning it to an AS.
Example of Viewing AS Numbers in AS Paths
The lines shown in bold are the number of times ASN 65123 can appear in the AS path (allows–in 9).
