[@alvinmurod23]

Great explanation, it helps me to figure out how the AS Path Prepend works. Thanks!

[@networkroute1741]

Thanks Alvin, I am glad it helped. Let me know if you need details for more topics

[@puravcshah90]

Thank you for explaining it so well.

[@robbytacheny3362]

For anyone trying to replicate, you'll need to set up neighbors from PE1 to PE2 with "next-hop-self" or PE2 addresses will be unreachable from AS8888 and vice versa.
@NetworkRoute This would be another good topic for your BGP lessons.

[@networkroute1741]

Hi Robby - BGP Next-hop attribute needs a dedicated video. The focus in this video was on AS-Path.

[@robbytacheny3362]

@@networkroute1741 Its a good lab series. Good videos and explanations. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. In addition to Next hop video, you should do a video which builds this topology from the beginning. For people just learning BGP, they may get confused about adding static routes for loopbacks to peer.

[@l4mez728]

can you do same with IOS-XR RPL ?

[@louiesantiago7351]

is possible to prepend other AS and not your local AS?

[@networkroute1741]

@Louie, you cannot prepend other AS

[@joshualuna7112]

its okay to use 100 100 as prepend AS value? why same?

[@networkroute1741]

Hi Joshua, We should prepend our own AS in the BGP update, hence it is 100. Answer to the second question is we are prepending it twice to make the AS-Path longer so that it is less preferred.
Hope this helps

[@joshualuna7112]

Network Route got it thank you

[@Sirist10]
