Autonomous System Number (AS) field:
Specifies the autonomous system number for IGRP packets this node will accept and use. This parameter is required when IGRP is enabled. It is not necessary to use an officially registered autonomous system number to run IGRP, but if it is recommended if the ogranization has one. The update message is identified by this AS number. Because each update is labeled, routers can be configured to pay attention only to a specific update. Certain routers are configured to receive updates from several autonomous systems. They pass information between the systems in a controlled manner. At present, it is only possible to receive updates from a single autonomous system on a node.
