ASN Pools (Resources)

ASN Pool Overview

Autonomous system numbers (ASNs) are used to support BGP in the underlay. When you're building your blueprint you'll specify which resource pool to use for assigning ASNs.

Note:

If you need to assign a specific ASN to a specific device, you can assign the ASN individually from the staged blueprint in the Properties panel of a selection.

ASN pools include the following details:

Name Description
Pool Name A unique name to identify the resource pool
Total Usage Percentage of ASNs in use for all ranges in the resource pool. (Hover over the status bar to see the number of ASNs in use and the total number of ASNs in the pool.)
Range Usage The ASNs included in the range and the percentage that are in use. (Hover over the status bar to see the number of ASNs in use and the total number of ASNs in that range.)
Status Indicates if the pool is in use

From the left navigation menu in the Apstra GUI, navigate to Resources > ASN Pools to go to ASN pools in the design (global) catalog. You can create, clone, edit and delete ASN pools.

Create ASN Pool

  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Resources > ASN Pools and click Create ASN Pool.
  2. Enter a unique name and range. To add another range, click Add a range and enter the range.
  3. Click Create to create the pool and return to the table view.

When you're building your blueprint, you'll assign resources from these pools in the Staged > Physical view of the blueprint.

Edit ASN Pool

  1. Either from the table view (Resources > ASN Pools) or the details view, click the Edit button for the pool to edit.
  2. Make your changes. You can add, change and delete ranges, but you cannot remove ASNs that are in use.
  3. Click Update to update the pool and return to the table view.

Delete ASN Pool

You can delete ASN pools as long as none of the ASNs within the pool are in use.
  1. Either from the table view (Resources > ASN Pools) or the details view, click the Delete button for the pool to delete.
  2. Click Delete to delete the pool and return to the table view.
