Confederation As
362
Grouping autonomous systems (ASs) into confederations reduces the number of BGP
connections required to interconnect ASs. If you administer multiple ASs that contain
many BGP systems, you can group them into one or more confederations. Each
confederation is identified by its own AS number, which is called a confederation AS
number. To external ASs, a confederation appears to be a single AS. Thus, the internal
topology of the ASs (members) making up the confederation is hidden. Because each
confederation is treated as if it were a single AS, you can apply the same routing policy
to all the ASs that make up the confederation.
To configure a confederation in NSM:
In the navigation tree, select
1.
In the Devices list, double click the device to select it.

NOTE: After you make changes to a device configuration, you must push that
updated device configuration to the physical security device for those changes
to take effect. You can update multiple devices at one time. See the Updating
Devices section in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide for
