   Just like you use the "as-path prepend", you can use the "as-path
   tag", where the tag could force the value for as-path.
   
   Router(config-route-map)#set as-path ?
     prepend Prepend to the as-path
     tag Set the tag as an AS-path attribute

   If you form an aggregate based on different external neighboring
   autonomous systems (or ASs, or ASses, what's the plural? :) ), you
   can configure it so that it does not forward the as-set attribute and
   the originator of the aggregate becomes the starting AS for the
   route. If you base the aggregate on routes from a single external AS,
   that AS will come through on the as-path.
   
   Warning... I'm only book smart here (Halabi's book)

   Coming out of lurk mode...
   
   
   
   Say I have a BGP configuration as follows
   
   
   
   AS1-----------AS2-----------AS3
   
   
   
   When routes get to AS1 that have gone through AS2 their path will be 2
   3 or 2 3 ? ? ? etc
   
   
   
   Is there any way I can strip off the 3 (or everything else) in the
   path to make it look like it originated in AS2?
   
   
   
   I know how to prepend extra AS numbers on, but not delete them.
   
   
   
   BTW, anyone going to San Jose 3/22 and 3/23?
   
   
   
   Thanks,
   
   
   
   Robb
