 1. Please provide the Cogent port/LAG bundle order ID(s) that require BGP routing:



 2. Autonomous System Number (ASN) - Please check the appropriate box for your network.

    [   ]  I will be announcing my routes to you via ASN(s):  

    [   ]  I need a private ASN to speak BGP at more than one Cogent location, but to no other ISP.
	   Indicate the Cogent Port order numbers for your other locations:


           Customers needing private AS BGP will only be allowed to announce out Cogent IP space.


 3. BGP session password (Optional):  

 4. If you have an AS-Set registered in a routing database and wish to have Cogent use it to automatically 
    update our prefix database, provide it here:



##########################################################################################################
                                NOTE
    Cogent can use the RADB or RIPE route registries to pull prefixes if you have provided us with an AS-Set. 
    Cogent defaults to RADB because it mirrors most of the major routing registries.  If you would prefer us to
    pull prefixes from RIPE's routing registry, please make note of that in the additional comments section. 

    For a complete list of the databases RADB mirrors, visit - http://www.irr.net/docs/list.html#RADB
