BGP: Communities: LOCAL-AS
· In BGP, communities are basically used to tag the routes so that we can filter them where ever we want.
· LOCAL-AS is the community value that can be used in-side a Confederation AS.
· LOCAL-AS is a special community value. It simply instructs the received router not to forward this route outside the Confederation AS.
· Confederation is simply dividing the AS into Sub-ASs.
· Let me take a small topology to understand this
· AS 400: R4
· AS 100: R1, R2, R3
· Confederation AS 65531: R1 & R2
· Confederation AS 65532: R3
· EBGP: R2 – R4
· Confederation EBGP: R2 – R3
· Confederation IBGP: R1 – R2
· I have 3 loopbacks in R1, 1.1.1.1/32, 11.11.11.11/32 and 111.111.111.111/32
· Let me create a route-map, so that
o LOCAL-AS community is set for 1.1.1.1/32
o NO-EXPORT community is set for 11.11.11.11/32
o No community is set for 111.111.111.111/32

Observations:
· LOCAL-AS community value is set for 1.1.1.1
· Because of LOCAL-AS community, 1.1.1.1/32 didn’t leave Confederation AS 65531, only R2 has this prefix.
· NO-EXPORT community value is set for 11.11.11.11
· Because of NO-EXPORT community, 11.11.11.11/32 didn’t leave AS 100, only R2 and R3 have this prefix.
· No community value is configured for 111.111.111.111
· Because of this, all routers got this prefix in their BGP table.
