Question

Set-Community failes AS number seems to be to long

Hi

 

When I try and set a community on a route-map I get the following error.

 

hostname (1) # set set-community community Attribute: AA|AA:NN|internet|local-AS|no-advertise|no-export.

hostname (1) # set set-community "0:327782" node_check_object fail! for community 0:327782

 

When I remove the 2 from community number it works.

 

I looks like the AS number at the back of the community is to long.

 

Thanks

    It should fail a std  AA and NN is 16bit value so 65535 is the max

    Hi

     

    Thanks, so there is no support for 32-bit ASN?

     

    Thanks

    In a std community value on left or right side is 16bits. So that's a 32bit total. You have to look at extended communities and do some magic

     

    e.g

    2 2 4  octets

    2 2 2 octets

    4 4 octets

     

    Now I do not know if fortiOS supports extended communities.
