Does 3750 support new ASN format ?

[g.peart]

Hi All,

I have a 3750 running 12.2(55) and  when I configure BGP I only get the standard

AS number choice of 1-65535, but my provider is supplying a 4-byte AS number

which is six digits and it gets rejected at the prompt on the 3750.

Does that mean no support on 3750

TIA

Hello,

The 3750 indeed does not support 4B ASNs. The lowest Catalyst platform supporting 4B ASNs is 4500E. Your provider has to assign you a 2B number. If you are not using multiple providers and provider independent IP space, you do not need a public AS number anyway, and you should be fine with running a private ASN (in the range 64512 - 65535). This has to be decided by your ISP, however.

Best regards,

Peter
