Customize AS Names

Interface reports in CA Network Flow Analysis that show data about Autonomous System (AS) traffic typically label the AS traffic by name and number. Administrators can customize AS names to make the AS references in reports shorter or more descriptive.

For example, suppose that operators frequently view reports about network traffic for AS 4000000. The label with the default AS name is "UUNET-CANADA - Progressive Communications Services, Inc. d/b/a Acme Business (4000000)." The administrator can customize the AS name so that the report label is "Acme (4000000)."

AS names are domain-specific. The AS names that appear in reports are taken from the domain of the interface for the report.

The topics in this section describe how to review and edit the current AS names.

To complete these tasks, make sure that you have configured your NetFlow or NetFlow-compliant flow to support AS reporting. To view meaningful AS data in reports, you must enable it: NetFlow does not export full AS information by default. For information about enabling AS data, refer to the Knowledge Base article TEC562036, "Viewing AS Numbers in Reports," at CA Support (http://ca.com/support).

AS data is shown as AS 0 in reports when any of the following conditions apply:
