Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Community attributes are BGP-specific and are used to simplify routing policy application and network maintenance and management. A community is a set of destination addresses with the same characteristics. These addresses have no physical boundary and are independent of their ASs. They share one or multiple community attributes. To create a BGP community list, run the ip community-list command.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the community command to configure community attributes for a BGP community list.

If no community attribute is configured in the community list view, the filtering results of the route-policy that references the community list are not as expected.

Example

# Create a BGP community list named community1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] ip community-list community1
