Configuring BGP AS number substitution and SoO attribute

When CEs at different sites have the same AS number, configure the BGP AS number substitution feature to avoid route loss.

When a PE uses different interfaces to connect different CEs in a site, the BGP AS number substitution feature introduces a routing loop. To remove the routing loop, configure the SoO attribute on the PE.

For more information about the BGP AS number substitution feature and the SoO attribute, see "BGP AS number substitution and SoO attribute."
