Hi,
Could it be the authors' advice based on best practices? Matching on
AS_PATH between AS's would not only allow for the multi-protocols but
also would avoid re-configuration when prefixes are added or removed
from that AS.
Best Regards

Hi,
I think this was an IOS issue, this was true before (i guess that you
read
this in Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP), but practically i've tried it and
you
can match ip address.
