Filtering
The neighbor command uses the filter-list parameter to apply the AS-path ACL to the neighbor.

Using regular expressions to filter
You use a regular expression for the as-path parameter to specify a single character or multiple
characters as a filter pattern. If the AS-path matches the pattern specified in the regular
expression, the filter evaluation is true; otherwise, the evaluation is false.
characters as a filter pattern. If the AS-path matches the pattern specified in the regular
expression, the filter evaluation is true; otherwise, the evaluation is false.
In addition, you can include special characters that influence the way the software matches the
AS-path against the filter value.
AS-path against the filter value.
To filter on a specific single-character value, enter the character for the as-path parameter. For
example, to filter on AS-paths that contain the letter “z”, enter the following command.
example, to filter on AS-paths that contain the letter “z”, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-bgp-router)#as-path-filter 1 permit z
To filter on a string of multiple characters, enter the characters in brackets. For example, to filter on
AS-paths that contain “x”, “y”, or “z”, enter the following command.
AS-paths that contain “x”, “y”, or “z”, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-bgp-router)#as-path-filter 1 permit [xyz

BGP4 special characters
When you enter as single-character expression or a list of characters, you also can use the
following special characters.

on page 336 lists the special characters. The description for
each special character includes an example. Notice that you place some special characters in front
of the characters they control but you place other special characters after the characters they
control. In each case, the examples show where to place the special character.

.
The period matches on any single character, including a blank space. For example, the
following regular expression matches for “aa”, “ab”, “ac”, and so on, but not just “a”.
a.
following regular expression matches for “aa”, “ab”, “ac”, and so on, but not just “a”.
a.
*
The asterisk matches on zero or more sequences of a pattern. For example, the following
regular expression matches on an AS-path that contains the string “1111” followed by any
value:
1111*
regular expression matches on an AS-path that contains the string “1111” followed by any
value:
1111*
+
The plus sign matches on one or more sequences of a pattern. For example, the following
regular expression matches on an AS-path that contains a sequence of “g”s, such as “deg”,
“degg”, “deggg”, and so on:
deg+
regular expression matches on an AS-path that contains a sequence of “g”s, such as “deg”,
“degg”, “deggg”, and so on:
deg+
?
The question mark matches on zero occurrences or one occurrence of a pattern. For example,
the following regular expression matches on an AS-path that contains “dg” or “deg”:
de?g
the following regular expression matches on an AS-path that contains “dg” or “deg”:
de?g
^
A caret (when not used within brackets) matches on the beginning of an input string. For
example, the following regular expression matches on an AS-path that begins with “3”:
^3
example, the following regular expression matches on an AS-path that begins with “3”:
^3
$
A dollar sign matches on the end of an input string. For example, the following regular
expression matches on an AS-path that ends with “deg”:
deg$
expression matches on an AS-path that ends with “deg”:
deg$
