loss of BGP community attribute

[att-sgcops]

I have 2 routers running BGP:

R7 config~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

router bgp 700

redistribute connected route-map t1

neighbor 20.20.20.5 remote-as 500

neighbor 20.20.20.5 send-community

route-map t1 permit 10

set community no-export

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but from the BGP table, I cannot see the "no-export" attribute:

R7#sh ip bgp 6.6.6.6

BGP routing table entry for 6.6.6.6/32, version 2

Paths: (1 available, best #1, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)

Advertised to non peer-group peers:

0.0.0.0 from 0.0.0.0 (8.8.8.8)

Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, weight 32768, valid, sourced, best

R7#

why I cannot see it?

It appears that prefix 6.6.6.6/32 is originated via a network statement because of its Origin attribute being set to IGP. Can you confirm that.

If it is the case then it this normal that the community no-export is not set on this prefix since the route-map t1 is configured on the "redistribute connected" statement.

You could also use the route-map t1 on the netwrok statement to solve this issue.

Hope this helps,

This doesn't look normal indeed. What version of IOS is running on this box?

Thanks,
