Great! Thank you Rolf. -----Original Message----- From: "Rolf Hanßen" [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2011 8:51 AM To: Chen, Qinxue Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [f-nsp] BGP question on same AS for two locations
Hello Qinxue, actually you can do that (we have such a setup running for nearly 10 yeras now). You need to take care of 2 things: - the upstream sessions must have allowas-in configured - your upstream provider that connects your locations needs to send you routes with your AS in path. In our case he stopped doing that after moving from Cisco to Juniper one day (told us it is a different default behaviour) which resulted in an outage. regards Rolf > Hi all, > > I have a question: Can we use the same AS number for two different > locations but not IGP routable?
