[c-nsp] BGP blackhole community config

[Rich Davies]

config term
!
ip bgp-community new-format
!
router bgp 100
 neighbor xx.xx.xx.xx remote-as 200 send-community
!
end


Try that and clear your BGP session.   Based on fact you have no "network"
statements to announce directly in BGP you are instead redistributing
static routes into BGP to be announced.   I believe you need to add the "ip
bgp-community new-format" to your global configuration and in addition tell
your neighbor statement to "send-community".

BGP community is an optional transitive attribute its only sent to external
ASN if you tell it to.
