If you don't speak hex.

What would they be in the new community format? I speak decimal and
hex.

All communities are known by a numerical value. This includes some of
the
"well-known" communities.

Here's an excerpt from RFC 1997:

  The following communities have global significance and their
   operations shall be implemented in any community-attribute-aware BGP
   speaker.

      NO_EXPORT (0xFFFFFF01)
         All routes received carrying a communities attribute
         containing this value MUST NOT be advertised outside a BGP
         confederation boundary (a stand-alone autonomous system that
         is not part of a confederation should be considered a
         confederation itself).
      NO_ADVERTISE (0xFFFFFF02)
         All routes received carrying a communities attribute
         containing this value MUST NOT be advertised to other BGP
         peers.
      NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED (0xFFFFFF03)
         All routes received carrying a communities attribute
         containing this value MUST NOT be advertised to external BGP
         peers (this includes peers in other members autonomous
         systems inside a BGP confederation).

Hi all,

I wanted to do a match (in a route-map) for routes with a well known
community attribute, say, for example, no-export. When I did a match
community ? I found that community-list numbers were the only option
availble. My question is, if possible, how would I do a match for a
well
known community attribute?

Thanks in advance, PM
