Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

Sets the number of times an AS number occurs in an AS path. The allow-as parameter permits a BGP speaker to allow the AS number for a configured number of times in the updates received from the peer.

The AS-PATH loop is detected if the local AS number is present more than the number of times in the command.

1. Enter the neighbor IP address to use the AS path in ROUTER-BGP mode.

   neighbor ip address

2. Enter Address Family mode in ROUTER-NEIGHBOR mode.

   address-family {{ipv4 | ipv6} unicast | l2vpn evpn}

3. Allow the neighbor IP address to use the AS path the specified number of times in ROUTER-BGP-NEIGHBOR-AF mode (1 to 10).

   allowas-in number
