BGP community propagation

By default, BGP communities are not shared between BGP neighbors. If you want to exchange these, you have to use the neighbor send-community command.

You can enable this for standard or extended communities:

neighbor send-community [standard | extended | both]

  • standard - only standard communities will be sent
  • extended - only extended communities will be sent
  • both - both standard and extended communities will be sent
