Hi,
The community is a 32 bit number.
There are different ways how to look at this number
Just 1 32 bits number (the old way)
ranging from 0 to 2^32-1 (0 to 4294967295)
or
2 16 bit numbers (which is called the new-format)
0 to 2^16-1 : 0 to 2^16-1
0 to 65535 : 0 to 65535
ex.:
9000:80 which equals: 9000*65536+80=589824080
The IOS command is: (global config)
ip bgp-community new-format
This command doesn't affect the working of BGP, it's just the way things are
showed with a sh ver

Hi Group,
I configured a community list as follows,
ip community-list 1 permit 9000:80
When I looked at the running config , it was shown as random numbers
ip community-list 1 permit 589824080.
Does anybody know why it is showing differently in running config. How will
you find the original community value from that random
numbers if one does know the actual community value.
