protocols bgp <asn> parameters bestpath as-path <action>

Directs the router to compare the AS paths during best path selection.

set protocols bgp asn parameters bestpath as-path { confed | ignore }
delete protocols bgp asn parameters bestpath as-path [ confed | ignore ]
show protocols bgp asn parameters bestpath

By default, when making the best-path selection, the router does not compare AS_PATHs within a confederation and does not ignore the AS_PATH.

asn
The number of the AS in which this router resides. The numbers range from 1 through 4294967294. The subrange, 64512 through 65534, is reserved for private AS.
confed
Directs the router to compare the AS paths within a confederation during best path selection.
ignore
Directs the router to ignore AS_PATH during best path selection.
