Example: Configuring BGP Large Communities
This example shows you to configure optional
transitive path attribute - a 12-byte BGP large community that provides
the most significant 4-byte value to encode autonomous system number
as the global administrator and the remaining two 4-byte assigned
numbers to encode the local values as defined in RFC 8092. You can
configure BGP large community at [edit policy-options community community-name members]
and [edit routing-options
static route ip-address community]
hierarchy
levels. The BGP large community attributes format has four fields: large
:global administrator:assigned number:assigned number
.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Three MX Series routers
Junos OS Release 17.3 or later running on all devices
No special configuration beyond device initialization is required before configuring this example.
Overview
In this example, Device R1 and Device R2 are OSPF neighbors in autonomous system (AS) 64510. Device R3 has an external BGP (EBGP) connection to Device R1. Device R2 has customer networks in the 172.16/16 address space, simulated with addresses on its loopback interface (lo0). Device R1 has static routes to several 172.16.x/24 networks, and attaches regular community values to these routes. Device R1 then uses an export policy to advertise the routes to Device R3. Device R3 receives these routes and uses an import policy to add large community values to the routes.
Topology
Figure 1 shows the sample network.

Configuration
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example, copy the following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.

Procedure
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires that you navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Use the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the Junos OS CLI User Guide.
To configure Device R3:
Configure the interfaces.
content_copy zoom_out_map[edit interfaces] set fe-1/2/3 unit 0 family inet address 10.0.0.13/30 set lo0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.0.3/32
Configure the autonomous system (AS) number and router ID.
content_copy zoom_out_map[edit routing-options] set router-id 192.168.0.3 set autonomous-system 64511
Configure the EBGP connection to Device R1.
content_copy zoom_out_map[edit protocols bgp group to-R1] set type external set import set-large-comms set peer-as 64510 set neighbor 10.0.0.14

A large community uses a notation of
large
:global administrator:assigned number:assigned number
. The specific community values can be anything that accomplishes your administrative goals, within certain parameters.content_copy zoom_out_map[edit policy-options policy-statement set-large-comms] set term route-1 from route-filter 172.16.1.0/24 exact set term route-1 then community add large2-as set term route-1 then accept set term route-2 from route-filter 172.16.2.0/24 exact set term route-2 then community add large2-ip set term route-2 then accept set term route-3 from route-filter 172.16.3.0/24 exact set term route-3 then community add large1-as set term route-3 then accept set term route-4 from route-filter 172.16.4.0/24 exact set term route-4 then community add large1-ip set term route-4 then accept
