Configure Large Community List

You can configure a large community list.

About this task

Follow this procedure to configure a large community list.

If the large community list not associated with a device, the configured large community rules will be stored in the Policy service DB.
If the large community list is already associated with devices, the configured large community rules will also be pushed to the devices.
The large community list configuration supports rollback. The rollback will be attempted on all the associated devices.

For supported commands on large community list, see ExtremeCloud Orchestrator Command Reference, 3.3.1 .

Procedure

Run the following command to create a large community list:

efa policy large-community-list create

Example:

efa policy large-community-list create –-name lgcomm1 –-type standard –-rule "seq[5],action[permit],std-value[10:10:10;20:20:20]"

Run the following command to update a large community list:

efa policy large-community-list update

You can use the efa policy large-community-list update command to update (add or remove) devices. Use the update operation to configure or deconfigure the large community list rules on a device or list of devices. The update operation supports rollback for add device where rollback is attempted on failed devices.

Example:

The following is an example of adding a device when you update a large community list:

efa policy large-community-list update --operation add-device --ip 10.139.44.159 --name lgcomm1 --type standard
