This field is used in conjunction with the bgpPeerSendComm field in the bgpPeerTable to indicate whether BGP will send UPDATE messages to the peer for this address family containing BGP community attributes. When set to 'true', and bgpPeerSendComm is set to 'true', DC-BGP sends UPDATE messages to the peer for this address family including BGP community attributes. Otherwise, DC-BGP sends UPDATE messages to the peer, for this address family omitting BGP community attributes. Changing the value of this field while the peer is active triggers DC-BGP to resend routes with community attributes included or omitted according to the new configuration. The peer may be configured to ignore this field and instead obtain the value from a peer-group as explained in the table description.
