Usage Information To accept 4-byte formats before entering a 4-byte AS number, configure your system.
All the routers in the Confederation must be 4 byte or 2 byte identified routers. You
cannot mix them.
The autonomous systems configured in this command are visible to the EBGP
neighbors. Each autonomous system is fully meshed and contains a few connections to
other autonomous systems. The next hop, MED, and local preference information is
preserved throughout the confederation.
The system accepts confederation EBGP peers without a LOCAL_PREF attribute. The
software sends AS_CONFED_SET and accepts AS_CONFED_SET and AS_CONF_SEQ.
