IETF RFC 1997 denes the COMMUNITY attribute and the predened communities of INTERNET, NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED,
NO_ADVERTISE, and NO_EXPORT. All BGP routes belong to the INTERNET community. In the RFC, the other communities are
dened as follows:
• All routes with the NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED (0xFFFFFF03) community attribute are not sent to CONFED-EBGP or EBGP
peers, but are sent to IBGP peers within CONFED-SUB-AS.
• All routes with the NO_ADVERTISE (0xFFFFFF02) community attribute must not be advertised.
• All routes with the NO_EXPORT (0xFFFFFF01) community attribute must not be advertised outside a BGP confederation
boundary, but are sent to CONFED-EBGP and IBGP peers.
Dell Networking OS also supports BGP Extended Communities as described in RFC 4360 — BGP Extended Communities Attribute.
To congure an IP community list, use these commands.
1. Create a community list and enter COMMUNITY-LIST mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip community-list community-list-name
2. Congure a community list by denying or permitting specic community numbers or types of community.
CONFIG-COMMUNITYLIST mode
{deny | permit} {community-number | local-AS | no-advertise | no-export | quote-regexp
regular-expression-list | regexp regular-expression}
• community-number: use AA:NN format where AA is the AS number (2 Bytes or 4 Bytes) and NN is a value specic to
that autonomous system.
• local-AS: routes with the COMMUNITY attribute of NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED.
• no-advertise: routes with the COMMUNITY attribute of NO_ADVERTISE.
• no-export: routes with the COMMUNITY attribute of NO_EXPORT.
• quote-regexp: then any number of regular expressions. The software applies all regular expressions in the list.
• regexp: then a regular expression.
Example of the show ip community-lists Command
To view the conguration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION COMMUNITY-LIST or CONFIGURATION
EXTCOMMUNITY LIST mode or the
show ip {community-lists | extcommunity-list} command in EXEC Privilege
mode.
