Accessor to the aut_num attribute. Accepts an optional aut_num, always return the current aut_num array.

The value of the aut_num attribute is the AS Number of the Autonomous System that this object describes and takes the form of ASn where n is a 32 bit number..

Leading zeroes (AS0352) are not allowed and will be removed (AS352) by the database software.

as_name( [$as_name] )¶
