Thanks! I figured it must do something or they wouldn't have it there. :-) It's interesting that they don't have it in the command references any longer, though. You'd think that if you check the master index that all possible commands would be in there somewhere, but I couldn't find this one.
Thanks again, John >>> "Kane, Christopher A." 2/21/02 10:51:16 AM >>> Checked one of my lab boxes, it's running 12.0(16) and had that command as well. Like you I searched cisco command ref online and couldn't find it. I have an old 11.1 command summary manual and found it on page 453. [no] autonomous-system (local-as) "To specify the local autonomous system that the router resides in for EGP, use the autonomous-system global configuration command." To me it looks as if this is a throwback to the EGP days (pre-BGP). Rather than do a search for EGP on CCO and get 1100 results that are referring to anything but the old protocol, I have Doyle's VOL II handy. His first chapter in VOL II is about EGP, the protocol. On page 26 he lists the steps for turning it on: 1. Specify the router's AS with the command autonomous-system 2. Start the EGP process and specify the neighbor's AS with the command router egp 3. Specify the EGP neighbors with the neighbor command 4. Specify what networks are to be advertised by EGP HTH, -chris -----Original Message----- From: John Neiberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 10:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Autonomous-system command [7:36067] In 12.2(3) I just ran across the following global configuration command: autonomous-system [AS] Router(config)#?
