autonomous-system loop
Hi All,

I've topology like below:

AS1----AS2(M10)-----vrf1 AS3 (MPLS Backbone) vrf2----AS2----AS4

Currently I'm configuring M10 in AS2.
Is it recommended it this situation to use "autonomous-system loop" in
M10 or we have another solution for this?

TIA,
Janto

as-override.

Please not that if you use the as-override, you're not protected on
your other links. You'll probably want to set up an as-path filter to
make sure you don't receive your own routes except from those places
where you INTENT to receive them. (prefix filter might even be better
so you can only accept the specific instances you're after.)

Not sure which entity you are refering too... 'as-override' (applied
on AS3) replaces the customer as w/ the provider as. As such it does
not change in any way the loop detection mechanism in the provider
network and it avoids having to have the customer network (AS2 in this
case) set 'loops' to 2.

The issues that you are raising would show up by configuring 'loops 2'
on AS2... not by doing as-override, afaik.

Sorry that I didn't mention if this network based on Cisco.
What if I use loop 2 in M10 and then as-path filter?
