neighbor allowas-in

Syntax

neighbor {<IP-ADDRESS>|<PEER-GROUP-NAME>} allowas-in <NUMBER>

no neighbor {<IP-ADDRESS>|<PEER-GROUP-NAME>} allowas-in <NUMBER>

Description

This command specifies the number of times that the AS path of a received route might contain the AS number of the recipient BGP speaker and still be accepted. When this configuration is applied for a peer-group, all the neighbors that are part of the peer-group will inherit this feature.

The no form of this command restores the default state, which is to reject as a loop any route where the path contains the speaker AS number.
