Note
Multiple communities couldn‘t be used in “community set” attribute in the BGP policy file. The way to set multiple communities in BGP policy file could be accomplished by two set of attributes as given in below example:
entry permit-anything-else {
if {
} then {
community set "2342:6788";
community add "2342:6789 2342:6790";
permit;
}
}
