[c-nsp] Is there a cisco-equivalent of "loop n"(JunOS) as applicable to local-as

Randy,

I think neighbor foo allowas-in <number> is the cmd you’re looking for..

well, IOS/IOS-XR only apply the incoming as-path loop check on eBGP updates, so iBGP updates with your own AS would pass this check just fine, as long as RTR3’s make it into your AS (with the help of allowas-in they would, I guess).

Not entirely sure which policy you want to achieve, but the above might give you some tools?
