Edit Autonomous System Names

Customize AS names as needed to make interface report labels more user-friendly.

Follow these steps:

  1. (Optional) Review and correct the Domain setting if necessary.

    In a multi-domain environment, AS names are domain-specific. In this case, changes to AS names affect reports about interfaces in the selected domain.

  2. Select the row for the AS number that you want to edit.
  3. Click Edit.

    The Edit AS Number Description dialog opens.

  4. Enter the custom name (description) in the New Name box.

    The Old Name value is the official (base) name for the AS, which cannot be edited.

  5. Click Save.

    The name that you specified appears in the Description column for the selected AS number. All custom AS names are shown in bold.

    The updated AS names also appear in labels and other references in the following CA Network Flow Analysis Interface views:

  6. Repeat these steps for each AS that you want to customize.

Note: To restore the AS name to its official value, click Reset on the appropriate row, then OK in the confirmation box that opens.
