Hi,

> Can a PE router ack as ASBR and receive full internet router ?

it depends on the router capabilities and not on the role (ASBR) of the router.

What changes exactly you had? Paste output of "show | compare rollback 1".

Kind Regards

Mikep,

I just add this simple L3 VRF 

routing-instances {
    cust-a1 {
        instance-type vrf;
        interface ge-1/3/0.15;
        route-distinguisher 121.100.5.84:1;
        vrf-target {
            import target:38158:1;
            export target:38158:1;
        }
        routing-options {
            static {
                route 172.16.10.0/24 next-hop 121.100.7.6;
            }
        }
    }
} 

 After i add this configuration and then all my bgp peer suddenly down . 

This is my case number at JTAC 2009-0901-0780

Yes. ASBR and PE can be same if you have memory enough to handle all routes and ASICs finc apacity is enough.
