E-BGP neighborship between routers in the same AS??

[maurizio.murano]

Hi,

does anybody know if exist a cisco feature wish allowed to configure a E-BGP session withing the same AS? That's mean, have a BGP session between neighbors which have the same AS number on teh comand "router bgp AS"

Thanks you very much

Not as far as i am aware because if you define the same AS then it automatically becomes an IBGP session. You can allow advertised routes into an AS even if the AS is in the path by using the allowas-in command under the BGP config but i don't think that is what you are asking.

Hi,

maybe using "neighbor .... local-as xxx no-prepend replace-as" on both sides

might make both routers pretending to be placed in different AS numbers.

But I never tested such a trick.

HTH,

Hello Maurizio,

as Milan as noted neigh local-as could be the right tool for this request

I used local-as towards CE routers only on one side of the BGP connection

the neigh allowas-in could be of help you cannot eliminate the original AS from the AS path attribute (you should be able with the options suggested by Milan)

May I ask you what is the scenario for this specific request?

I guess you would like to perform load balancing between an eBGP route and a currently iBGP route

Hope to help
