Community Lists
For a community list, the input string is the community attribute of the routes to which
the list is applied using a
route-map command. If the community attribute matches the
regular expression in the community list, the route matches the community list.
Example The following commands apply route map 5 to routes forwarded to BGP peer 10.5.5.4.
Route map 5 uses a regular expression to match community numbers ending with 305,
setting the weight of matching routes to 150.
host1(config-router)# neighbor 10.5.5.4 remote-as 425
host1(config-router)# neighbor 10.5.5.4 route-map 5 out
host1(config-router)# exit
host1(config)# route-map 5 permit 10
host1(config-route-map)# match community 305$
host1(config-route-map)# set weight 150
Community Numbers
When you use a regular expression to match a community number, use the appropriate
format for the community number in the community list. If you issue the
ip bgp-community
new-format command, the community number has the format AA : NN where AA is a
number that identifies the autonomous system, and NN is a number that identifies the
community within the autonomous system. Otherwise, the community number is an
integer in the range 1–4294967295.
Metacharacters
Each regular expression consists of one or more metacharacters and zero or more
complete or partial AS or community numbers. Table 5 on page 43 describes the
metacharacters supported for regular expression pattern-matching.
Table 5: Supported Regular Expression Metacharacters
Description Metacharacter

Alternatively, when used as the first character within brackets—[^ ]—matches
any number except the ones specified within the brackets.
^

Matches zero or more sequences of the immediately previous character or
pattern. *
