When you complete your migration, and you have reconfigured your network with the new information
you must disable this feature.
If the “no prepend” option is used, the local-as will not be prepended to the updates received from the
eBGP peer. If “no prepend” is not selected (the default), the local-as is added to the first AS segment in the
AS-PATH. If an inbound route-map is used to prepend the as-path to the update from the peer, the local-as
is added first. For example, consider the topology described in the illustration above. If Router B has an
inbound route-map applied on Router C to prepend "65001 65002" to the as-path, the following events will
take place on Router B
1. Receive and validate the update
2. Prepend local-as 200 to as-path
3. Prepend "65001 65002" to as-path
Local-as is prepended before the route-map to give an impression that update passed thru a router in AS
200 before it reached Router B.
