Specify the AS Path

By default, no AS path information is associated with static routes. To associate AS path information with IPv4 routes, include the as-path statement:

[edit routing-options static (defaults | route)] 
as-path <as-path> <origin (egp | igp | incomplete)> <atomic-aggregate>
    <aggregator as-number in-address>; 

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

To associate AS path information with IPv6 routes, include the as-path statement:

[edit routing-options rib inet6.0 static (defaults | route)] 
as-path <as-path> <origin (egp | igp | incomplete)> <atomic-aggregate>
    <aggregator as-number in-address>; 

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

as-path is the AS path to include with the route. It can include a combination of individual AS path numbers and AS sets. Enclose sets in brackets ( [ ] ). The first AS number in the path represents the AS immediately adjacent to the local AS. Each subsequent number represents an AS that is progressively farther from the local AS, heading toward the origin of the path.

You also can specify the AS path using the BGP origin attribute, which indicates the origin of the AS path information:

To attach the BGP ATOMIC_AGGREGATE path attribute to the static route, specify the atomic-aggregate statement. This path attribute indicates that the local system selected a less specific route rather than a more specific route.

To attach the BGP AGGREGATOR path attribute to the static route, specify the aggregator statement. When using this statement, you must specify the last AS number that formed the static route (encoded as two octets), followed by the IP address of the BGP system that formed the static route.
