HAPTER OUTING
confederation
nonstandard
ROTOCOL
several smaller sub-ASs, and each sub-ASs remains full-connected. These sub-ASs
form a confederation. Key IGP attributes of the route, such as next hop, MED,
local preference, are not discarded across each sub-ASs. The sub-ASs still look like
a whole from the point of view of a confederation although these sub-ASs have
EBGP relations. This can assure the integrality of the former AS domain, and ease
the problem of too many connections in the domain
For the related commands, see confederation nonstandard and confederation
peer-as.
Example
Confederation 9 consists of four sub-ASs, namely, 38, 39, 40 and 41. Here, the
peer 10.1.1.1 is an internal member of the AS confederation while the peer
200.1.1.1 is an external member of the AS confederation. For external members,
Confederation 9 is a unified AS domain.

Description
Using the confederation nonstandard command, the router can be compatible
with the AS confederation not adopting RFC1965. Using the undo confederation
nonstandard command, you can cancel this function.
By default, the configured confederation is consistent with RFC1965.
All the 3Com routers in the confederation should be configured with this
command for interworking with those nonstandard devices.
For the related commands, see confederation id and confederation peer-as.
Example
AS100 contains routers following nonstandard, which is composed of two
sub-ASs, 64000 and 65000.
