Re: Missing BGP command - bgp enforce-first-as

Not sure what else you need to know, but here is something - have not
checked CCO for this, perhaps it's in the 12.0S stuff somewhere back around
12.0(2.6)S when it was implemented.

------------------------------
bgp enforce-first-as

To have cisco IOS enforce the first AS (in the AS_PATH) of a route
received from an eBGP peer to be the same as the remote AS configured, use
the 'bgp enforce-first-as' command. To not enforce this rule, use the
'no' form of the command.

bgp enforce-first-as
no bgp enforce-first-as

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

The software does not require the first AS (in the AS_PATH) of a route
received from an eBGP peer to be the same as the remote AS configured.

Command Mode

Router configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 12.0S.

If 'bgp enforce-first-as' is enabled then any update (received from an
eBGP neighbor) that does not have the neighbor's configured AS at the
beginning of the AS_PATH will be denied. When configured, the command
applies to all the eBGP peers of the router.

Example

The following example shows a configuration in which all incoming updates
from the eBGP peers will be examined to guarantee that the first AS (in
the AS_PATH) is in fact the same as the configured AS for that neighbor.

!
router bgp 109
  bgp enforce-first-as
  neighbor 131.108.1.1 remote-as 65001
  neighbor 160.89.2.33 remote-as 2051
!
