Configuring Extended Community Lists
You can use extended community lists to filter BGP routes based on the community attribute. The
community number consists of a 6-byte value in the aa4:nn format. The first four bytes represent the
autonomous system number, and the last two bytes represent a user-defined network number.
When you configure multiple values in the same extended community list statement, all extended
community values must match to satisfy the extended community list filter. When you configure multiple
values in separate extended community list statements, the first list that matches a condition is processed.
Use extended community lists in a match statement to filter BGP routes based on the extended
community attribute.
