History
Version Description
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S-Series.
Usage
Information
A new policy command is introduced in order to attach the Link Bandwidth
extended community only to the prefixes that are received from a neighbor that
satisfy the desired conditions. This command is relevant for both inbound as well
as outbound policy handling (for received prefixes). Also, there is no change to the
set of supported conditions or filters.
During configuration, the bandwidth is specified in Mbps, not in bytes/second.
While creating the actual LB extended community, the system will attach the AS
number and encode the bandwidth in floating point format.
