Replacing what is conventially thought to be a string with an integer multiplier seems a massive violation of the principle of least astonishment.
On a Cisco running 12.0S: route-map test1 set as-path prepend last-as ? <1-10> number of last-AS prepends Cisco seems to be doing more sensible limits, but I do agree that the feature makes sense. There are two ways of handling when someone puts in a very high number to number of prepends: 1. Say "out of limit" and disallow it in the config checker. 2. Actually prepend the number of times specified. The option done here: 3. Prepend number of times entered modulo 256, is just broken. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
