IP:NN – Community to deny or permit. The community number is
composed of a 4-byte IP address (representing the autonomous system
number) and a 2-byte network number, separated by one colon. The 2-
byte network number can range from 0 to 65535.
One or more community numbers can be entered, separated by a
space. Up to 3 community numbers are supported.
100-500 – Expanded community list number that identifies one or more
groups of communities.
expanded community-list-name – Name of expanded access list.
(Maximum length: 32 characters, no spaces or other special characters)
regular-expression – Regular expression indicating the community list
number or name. Syntax complies with the IEEE POSIX Basic Regular
Expressions (BRE) standard.

Command Usage
◆
Standard community lists are used to configure well-known communities or
community numbers. Expanded community lists are used to filter communities
using a regular expression.
◆
When multiple values are entered in the same community list, they form a
logical AND condition. When multiple values are configured in separate
community lists, the form a logical OR condition, where the first list that
matches a condition is processed.
◆
If the criteria specified for a community list is matched, then the
deny/permit condition is applied to the routing message.
◆
If a permit value is applied to a community list, the filter will implicitly deny
other community values.
◆
The route target (RT) attribute is used to identify sites that may receive routes
tagged with a specific route target. Using this attribute allows that route to be
placed in per-site forwarding tables used for routing traffic received from the
corresponding sites.
◆
The site of origin (SOO) attribute is used to identify the site from which the
provider edge (PE) router learned the route. All routes learned from a particular
site are assigned the same site of origin attribute, no matter if a site is
connected to a single PE router or multiple PE routers. Filtering based on this
extended community attribute can prevent routing loops from occurring when
a site is multi-homed.
