2.1.28 peer allow-as-loop

Syntax
peer { group-name | peer-address } allow-as-loop [asn-limit]
undo peer { group-name | peer-address } allow-as-loop
View
VPNv4 subaddress family view, VPN-instance sub-address family view
Parameter
group-name: Name of a peer group, consisting of 1 to 47 alphanumeric characters.
peer-address: IP address of a specified peer.
asn-limit: Maximum times for which autonomous system (AS) number is allowed to
receive in route updates.
Description
Use the peer allow-as-loop command to allow loop in the route updates in the Hub &
Spoke networking mode.
Use the undo peer allow-as-loop command to prohibit loop in the route updates.
By default, loop is prohibited in the received routing updates; by using the peer
allow-as-loop command, loop is allowed in the received routing updates. The default
value of asn-limit argument is 3.
Standard BGP tests loop using AS number. However, on a Hub & Spoke network
running EBGP between PE and CE, PE carries its own AS number when advertising
route information to CE. Accordingly, the updated route information will contain PE's AS
number when it is sent from CE. In this case, PE will not accept the route updates.
