This article describes how to skip the best AS-PATH criteria while selecting the best route in the BGP routing protocol.
To ignore/skip shortest AS_PATH selection process from BGP best path selection algorithm.

When it comes to AS-PATH selection i.e. the prefix which is having the shortest (least) AS-PATH it will select as the best route.
To ignore/skip this AS-path selection process from the BGP best-path selection algorithm, use "set bestpath-as-path-ignore enable" in BGP router configuration mode.
Command:
#config router bgp
#set bestpath-as-path-ignore enable
#end
