Andrew,

This does appear to be normal behavior. I also see the AS number from which
this AS learned the prefix as a TAG.

HTH,

  Hello Folk,

  In a lab I was doing I, there were multiple BGP AS#s. All the BGP
  routers were speaking to each other. There were no problems with
  routing or anything ... my question is related to some show commands I
  saw. Here goes:

  PE1#show ip route 10.131.96.0
  Routing entry for 10.131.96.0/24
    Known via "bgp 100", distance 200, metric 0
    Tag 200, type internal
    Last update from 10.131.31.242 4d22h ago
    Routing Descriptor Blocks:
    * 10.131.31.242, from 10.131.31.255, 4d22h ago
        Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
        AS Hops 1, BGP network version 0
        Route tag 200

  @ the bottom of this you will see the tag 200. This was learned from a
  bgp AS # 200. There was no tagging set (please do not ask for configs)
  ... This is a MPLS lab / network ... I would not think that this would
  make a difference ...

  Is this normal... BGP 'auto tagging' of routes learned from different AS
  numbers?

  Kindest regards,

  Andrew
