9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
To view the total number of COMMUNITY attributes found, use the show ip bgp summary command.
The text line above the route table states the number of COMMUNITY attributes found.
The show ip bgp community command without any parameters lists BGP routes with at least one
BGP community attribute and the output is the same as for the show ip bgp command output.
IPv6 BGP Commands
IPv6 Border Gateway Protocol (IPv6 BGP) is supported on the switch.
Border gateway protocol (BGP) is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and
between autonomous systems (AS). BGP version 4 (BGPv4) supports classless interdomain routing and the aggregation of
routes and AS paths. Basically, two routers (called neighbors or peers) exchange information including full routing tables and
periodically send messages to update those routing tables.
