John, I don't know if you found an answer. Looks like this command is used to specify your AS number when you are running EGP, which is something like the precursor to BGP. There is actually a chapter on this in Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Volume II, chapter 1. HTH.
>From CCO: autonomous-system (EGP) Use the autonomous-system global configuration command to specify the local autonomous system that the router resides in for EGP. To remove the AS number, use the no autonomous-system command. autonomous-system local-as no autonomous-system local-as Syntax Description local-as Local autonomous system (AS) number to which the router belongs. Default None Command Mode Global configuration Usage Guidelines Before you can set up EGP routing, you must specify an autonomous system number. The local AS number will be included in EGP messages sent by the router. Example The following sample configuration specifies an autonomous system number of 110: autonomous-system 110 Related Command router egp -----Original Message----- From: John Neiberger To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2/21/2002 10:39 AM Subject: Autonomous-system command [7:36067] In 12.2(3) I just ran across the following global configuration command: autonomous-system [AS] Router(config)#?

Any idea what this command might be used for?
