Allowing an AS Number to Appear in its Own AS Path
This command allows you to set the number of times a particular AS number can occur in the AS path.
The allow-as feature permits a BGP speaker to allow the ASN to be present for a specified number of times in the update
received from the peer, even if that ASN matches its own. The AS-PATH loop is detected if the local ASN is present more than
the specified number of times in the command.
● Allow this neighbor ID to use the AS path the specified number of times.
CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
neighbor {IP address | peer-group-name} allowas-in number
○ Peer Group Name: 16 characters.
○ Number: 1 through 10.
Format: IP Address: A.B.C.D.
You must use Configuring Peer Groups’before assigning it to an AS.
The lines shown in bold are the number of times ASN 65123 can appear in the AS path (allows–in 9).
To disable this feature, use the no neighbor allow-as in number command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode.

Enabling Graceful Restart
Use this feature to lessen the negative effects of a BGP restart.
The Dell Networking OS advertises support for this feature to BGP neighbors through a capability advertisement. You can
enable graceful restart by router and/or by peer or peer group.
NOTE: By default, BGP graceful restart is disabled.
The default role for BGP is as a receiving or restarting peer. If you enable BGP, when a peer that supports graceful restart
resumes operating, The Dell Networking OS performs the following tasks:
Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4)
