extended	Sends Extended Community attributes. Specifying this parameter
	with the no variant of this command results in no extended
	community attributes being sent.
standard	Sends Standard Community attributes. Specifying this parameter
	with the no variant of this command results in no standard
	community attributes being sent.

Default [BGP/BGP4+] Both standard and extended community attributes are sent to a neighbor.

Mode [BGP] Router Configuration or IPv4 Address Family Configuration for a VRF instance

Mode [BGP4+] Router Configuration and IPv6 Address Family Configuration

Usage [BGP/BGP4+] This command is used to specify a community attribute to be sent to a neighbor. The community attribute groups destinations in a certain community and applies routing decisions according to those communities. On receiving community attributes the router reannounces them to the neighbor. Only when the no parameter is used with this command the community attributes are not reannounced to the neighbor.

By default, both standard and extended community attributes are sent to a neighbor.
