Usage guidelines
The COMMUNITY attribute is a group of specific data carried in update messages. A route can carry
one or more COMMUNITY attribute values (each is represented by a 4-byte integer). The receiving
router processes the route (for example, determining whether to advertise the route and the scope for
advertising the route) based on the COMMUNITY attribute values.
After you execute the peer advertise-community command, routing updates advertised to the peer carry
the COMMUNITY attribute.
After you execute the undo peer advertise-community command, BGP, upon receiving a route with the
COMMUNITY attribute, removes the COMMUNITY attribute before sending the route to the peer or peer
group.
