7-54 neighbor send-community
This command is used to specify that community attribute should be sent to a BGP neighbor or all the members of a
peer group. Use the no form of this command to remove the entry.

Usage Guideline
DXS-3600 Series 10GbE Layer 2/3 Switch CLI Reference Guide
When the route reflector client is defined and the router reflection is enabled by the
command bgp client-to-client reflection, the BGP router will act as the route
reflector. The reflector and its clients form a cluster. In a cluster, all the members
must be an iBGP connection with the reflector and vice versa. The reflector is the
representative of the cluster. For the reflector, the iBGP connection is established by
the neighbor remote-as command and the corresponding neighbor must be
specified as the client by this command. For the client, the iBGP connection is
established by the neighbor remote-as command.
When the router is in reflection mode, the router will exchange information with client
neighbors in the reflection way and with the remaining neighbors in the ordinary way.
When the router is in non-reflection mode, the router will exchange information with
all the neighbors in the non-reflection way.
An AS can have multiple clusters, and a cluster can have more than one reflector for
redundancy purposes.
Use the show ip bgp reflection command to verify your settings.
This example shows how to add a neighbor as the route reflector client.
Specifies the IP address of the BGP peer.
Specifies the name of a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peer group. The maximum
length is 16 characters.
(Optional) Specifies that only standard communities will be sent.
None.

If you specify a BGP peer group by using the PEER-GROUP-NAME, all the
members of the peer group will inherit the characteristic configured with this
command.
Only the standard communities will be sent if no optional parameter is specified.
Use the show ip bgp neighbors or show ip bgp peer-group command to verify
your settings.
