RE: BGP Reg Exp

Dave,

this was the original answer that I gave:

The Reg Exp you are probably looking for is

^123(_[0-9]+)?$

Which transpires as

^ begins with 123

()? anything within the brackets can occur either no times or once

()?$ so now it will end with either 0 occurrence within the bracket or one
occurrence

[0-9)+ match 1 or more sequence of the numbers 0 to 9

Thus ^123(_[0-9]+)?$ will give you the directly attached AS and there
directly attached clients

A tip for when you doing the lab. The Doc CD has a section regular
expressions within the configuration guide, Part 1 Cisco IOS User Guide,
Using the Command-Line Interface

Leigh -

I didn't see a follow up on your question. But I believe that if you
want to have the AS123 and it's neighbors, you will need to two lines:

ip as-path access-list 1 permit ^123
ip as-path access-list 1 permit ^123_[0-9]+
