AS Number Migration
When migrating one AS to another, perhaps combining ASs, an eBGP network may lose its routing to an
iBGP if the ASN changes. Migration can be difficult as all the iBGP and eBGP peers of the migrating
network need to be updated to maintain network reachability. With this feature you can transparently
change the AS number of entire BGP network and ensure that the routes are propagated throughout the
network while the migration is in progress. Essentially,
to operate as if it belongs to "virtual" AS network besides its physical AS network.
Figure 8-11
shows a scenario where Router A, Router B and Router C belong to AS 100, 200, 300
respectively. Router A acquired Router B; Router B has Router C as its customer. When Router B is
migrating to Router A, it needs to maintain the connection with Router C without immediately updating
Router C's configuration.
belongs to Router B's old network (AS 200) as far as communicating with Router C is concerned.
