I guess you managed to sort out that issue as per your other thread
when the community wasn't being added?

Assuming you have enabled send-commuity on your upstream facing session...

This won't show you the pre-pends. This command shows the routes
before they are processed by any policies, you can't see them
post-processing in IOS/IOS-XE. You'd need to capture the BGP UPDATE
messages on the wire or get your peer to send you output from their
router (or check their looking glass if they have one). I don't think
you can see AS-PATH in debug messages.

Cheers,
James.
