Overview

6-10 Configuring the Border Gateway Protocol

learn, advertise, or redistribute routes. When routes are aggregated, the resulting aggregate has a
COMMUNITIES attribute that contains all communities from all the initial routes.

Community lists form groups of communities for use in a route map’s match clause. Similar to
ACLs, you can create a series of community lists where statements are checked until a match is
found and when one statement is satisfied, the test is finished with the

ip community-list

community-list-number {permit | deny} community-number

command.

To configure the COMMUNITIES attribute and match clauses based on communities, refer to the

match community-list

and

set community

command descriptions in

“BGP Community with

Route Maps Examples”

on page 6-26 and the XSR CLI Reference Guide.

Although a COMMUNITIES attribute is not sent to a neighbor by default, you can specify the
attribute be sent to the neighbor at an IP address with the

neighbor {ip-address | peer-

group-name} send-community

command.
