Subject: Re: BGP Community Attribute
hi
Thanks Philip for answering. Just to confirm, if a router has configured
with neighbor x.x.x.x send-community, and  it recieve a comunity attribute
that he do not understand ()not define in this router) , will he pass that
community to his neighbor (x.x.x.x)

Thanks
