RE: Filtering BGP updates using ip as-path access-lists

I'm no expert on as-path access-lists.

But, I believe the $ is the main difference.

^4_ anything beginning with as path 4.

^4_[0-9]*$ anything beginning with as path 4 and ENDS with one
additional AS.

Which brings up a question of mine,

Why wouldn't ^4_*$ do the same thing?

Subject: Filtering BGP updates using ip as-path access-lists

Hi all,

I've come across a scenario for which I require some clarification.

I want to permit only networks originated from AS4, and AS's directly
attached to AS4. I use the following config to meet the requirements,
however I have come across documentation that has achieved the same
results
using a slightly different version. I've listed both of them below:

ip as-path access-list 1 permit ^4_

and the other being:

ip as-path access-list 1 permit ^4_[0-9]*$

Could someone please help clarify why one method would be preferred over
the
other?

Thanks,

Raj.
