Specify the Local Router's AS Number

Each router running BGP must be configured with its AS number. This number is included in the local AS number field in BGP open messages, which are sent between BGP peers to establish a connection.

To specify an AS number, include the autonomous-system statement:

autonomous-system autonomous-system <loops number>; 

For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can configure this statement, see the statement summary section for this statement.

For more information about configuring the AS number, see Configure the AS Number.
