# ASN
|
|
|
|
ASN is short for Autonomous System Number. This identifier is used in the BGP protocol to identify which "autonomous system" a particular prefix is originating and transiting through.
|
|
|
|
The AS number model within NetBox allows you to model some of this real-world relationship.
|
|
|
|
Within NetBox:
|
|
|
|
* AS numbers are globally unique
|
|
* Each AS number must be associated with a RIR (ARIN, RFC 6996, etc)
|
|
* Each AS number can be associated with many different sites
|
|
* Each site can have many different AS numbers
|
|
* Each AS number can be assigned to a single tenant
