ASNs

ASNs

Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) are used to support BGP in the underlay.

You'll create ASN pools in the Resources section, then when you're building your blueprint you'll assign those pools. Resources from the pool are automatically pulled, as needed.

If you need to assign a specific ASN, you can assign it manually.

ASN Pool Details

ASN pools include the following details:

Pool Name A unique name to identify the resource pool
Total Usage Percentage of ASNs in use for all ranges in the resource pool. (Hover over the status bar to see the number of ASNs in use and the total number of ASNs in the pool.)
Range Usage The ASNs included in the range and the percentage that are in use. (Hover over the status bar to see the number of ASNs in use and the total number of ASNs in that range.)
Status Indicates if the pool is in use
