Can someone help me with Send Communities?? When do I have to use the
"neighbor x.x.x.x send community"???

This sample lab has R4 peered with a BB router in the "cloud". It then uses
a

neighbor x.x.x.x route-map noexport in

route-map noexport permit 10
set community no-export

There is a few other things in there, but that is the pertinent...

1) Why no-export and not local-as. I suspect they both would do the job.

2) In general WHEN DO I USE THE "Neigbor x.x.x.x Send Community"????? This
one is driving me nutz! When in doubt I throw in the send community
command, and I always make it work, but that is poor substitute for
understanding.

Scanning links but not finding anything to clearly help me with the basic
send communities.........

Thank You,

David
