7 important questions on BGP Routing Policies - BGP Communities - Filtering NLRIs Using Special COMMUNITY Values

What are the COMMUNITY Values Used especially for NLRI Filtering?

NO_EXPORT FFFF:FF01
NO_ADVERT FFFF:FF02
LOCAL_AS/NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED(RFC 1997) FFFF:FF03

What does the COMMUNITY Value NO_EXPORT mean and what is the value?

-FFFF:FF01
-Do not advertise outside this AS
-Can be advertised to other confederation autonomous systems

AS 1 could advertise eBGP route into AS 2 only
AS2 will only advertise route inside AS 2

What does the COMMUNITY Value NO_ADVERT mean and what is the value?

-FFFF:FF02
-Do not advertise to any iBGP peer

Router 1 can advertise a route to Router 2
Router 2 will not advertise to any other router

What does the COMMUNITY Value LOCAL_AS mean and what is the value?

-FFFF:FF03
-Do  not advertise outside the local confederation sub-AS

When can the COMMUNITY LOCAL_AS be used?

To prevent an sub-AS to be a transit sub-AS (confederations)

allows a router to advertise a prefix to a peer, with the intent that the peer will not advertised the route

show ip bgp community no-export
show ip bgp community no-advertise
show ip bgp community local-as
