Parameters

group-name: Specifies a peer group by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 47 characters. The peer

group must have been created.

ip-address: Specifies a peer by its IP address. The peer must have been created.

ipv6-address: Specifies a peer by its IPv6 address. The peer must have been created.

Usage guidelines

To meet increasing user demands, BGP defines a new attribute—extended community attribute. The

extended community attribute has the following advantages over the COMMUNITY attribute:

• The extended community attribute has an 8-byte length.

• The extended community attribute supports various types. You can select an extended community

attribute type as needed to implement route filtering and control. This simplifies configuration and

management.

After you execute the peer advertise-ext-community command, route updates sent to the peer or peer

group carry the extended community attribute.

After you execute the undo peer advertise-ext-community command, BGP, upon receiving a route with

the extended community attribute, removes the extended community attribute before sending the route to

the peer or peer group.
