Configuring AS4 Number Representations
Enable one type of AS number representation: ASPLAIN, ASDOT+, or ASDOT.
Term Description
ASPLAIN the method Dell Networking OS used for all previous Dell Networking OS versions. It remains the default
method with Dell Networking OS. With the ASPLAIN notation, a 32bit binary AS number is translated
into a decimal value.
ASDOT+ representation splits the full binary 4-byte AS number into two words of 16 bits separated by a decimal
point (.): <high-order 16 bit value>.<low-order 16 bit value>.
ASDOT representation combines the ASPLAIN and ASDOT+ representations. AS numbers less than 65536 appear
in integer format (asplain); AS numbers equal to or greater than 65536 appear using the decimal method
(asdot+). For example, the AS number 65526 appears as 65526 and the AS number 65546 appears as
1.10.
NOTE: The ASDOT and ASDOT+ representations are supported only with the 4-Byte AS numbers feature. If you do not
implement 4-Byte AS numbers, only ASPLAIN representation is supported.
Only one form of AS number representation is supported at a time. You cannot combine the types of representations within an
AS.
To configure AS4 number representations, use the following commands.
Enable ASPLAIN AS Number representation.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp asnotation asplain
NOTE: ASPLAIN is the default method Dell Networking OS uses and does not appear in the configuration display.
Enable ASDOT AS Number representation.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp asnotation asdot
Enable ASDOT+ AS Number representation.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
bgp asnotation asdot+
The following example shows the bgp asnotation asplain command output.
Dell(conf-router_bgp)#bgp asnotation asplain
