Questions and Answers

What command would be used to ensure the community value appears in the BGP routing table?

set community 64512:600 (correct)
router bgp 64512
network 10.10.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0
route-map COMM deny 10

What does the community value '64512:600' indicate in the route-map COMM?

The originating router's autonomous system
A filter preventing route advertisements
The highest preference for the route
A grouping to which this route belongs (correct)

In the output of 'show ip bgp 10.10.10.0', what does the term 'localpref 100' imply?

The route is preferred but not the best
This is the default local preference value (correct)
The route has been rejected by the filter
The route was learned via an IGP

What could be a reason the community value is not found in the BGP routing table despite being set?

Study Notes

BGP Configuration for Router R2

Router R2 operates under BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN) 64512.
It configures a neighbor with IP address 10.1.1.1 belonging to ASN 1.
The command network 10.10.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 route-map COMM is used to advertise route 10.10.10.0 with a specified subnet mask and route-map.

Route-Map Configuration

A route-map named COMM allows traffic and assigns a community value using set community 64512:600.
This configuration permits matching routes with the highest priority.

BGP Routing Table Entry

The routing table has an entry for the subnet 10.10.10.0/24 with version number 1320.
The best path is sourced from local IP 0.0.0.0 with various attributes:
- Origin marked as IGP
- Metric set to 0
- Local preference of 100
- Weight of 32768
The path is valid, sourced, local, and identified as the best route.
It is tagged with the community value 64512:600.

Issue with Community Value

The eBGP neighbor (10.1.1.1) successfully receives and installs the prefix into its table.
The community value 64512:600, however, is not appearing in the BGP routing table as expected.

Resolution Steps for the Community Value Issue

Confirm the BGP configurations on both peers to ensure the community values are being recognized and correctly propagated.
Check local policies or filters that might be excluding certain community values from being accepted or advertised.
Utilize debug commands to analyze the BGP updates and advertisements to diagnose where the community assignment might be failing.
