Advertising a fake AS number to a peer or peer group
After you move a BGP router from an AS to another AS (from AS 2 to AS 3 for example), you have to
modify the AS number of the router on all its EBGP peers. To avoid such modifications, you can
configure the router to advertise a fake AS number 2 to its EBGP peers so that the EBGP peers still
think that Router A is in AS 2.
