Solved: BGP 4-Byte AS Number

acharyr123 · ‎04-26-2010

Hi,

recently i got my AS number 196921. But in Router when ever i issue the command: router bgp?--> it shows only 1-65535.

Can someone suggest me how to enable this AS number 196921 to my Router?

The IOS that i am using it supports 4-Byte AS number.

Rgds,

Partha

Dear Friend,

U need to configred 4 byte ASN in doted

Your BGP : 196921 is in plain notation, converting to asdot:

ASN: 3.313

router bgp 3.313

Hello Partha,

according to cisco feature navigator BGP 4 byte AS number should be supported on several 12.2(33)SRE1 IOS images if you have a sup720 or an RSP 720 or a Sup 32

http://www.cisco.com/go/fn

search by feature : BGP support for 4-byte ASN

so your question is wise

the configuration may need to use a dotted notation like

router bgp x.y

so you need to calculate x and y so that x*65536 + y = ASN

this is called AS DOT notation

see

Hope to help

So you mean to say that, As plain format is not going to work??
