Description: This key attribute allows the user to enter a regular expression to match the import Community Attribute of the received update message. The syntax of the regular expression is a subset of the RFC 2280. The basic syntax of a regular expression is a list of Community number seperated by a space which making up a Community attribute. The following characters has the special meaning: '[n1 ... n2]' - Matches any Community number that appeared in the set n1 ... n2. 'n1 - n2' - Matches any Community number between the range of n1 and n2. '()' - is supported to change the order of evaluation. 'n*' - Matches 0 or more occurrences of n, where n can be a set, range or Community number. 'n+' - Matches 1 or more occurrences of n, where n can be a set, range or Community number. 'n?' - Matches 0 or 1 occurrences of n, where n can be a set, range or number. The following logical operators are evaluated in decending order: 'NOT' - Given a regular expression x, NOT x matches the Community attribute that is not matched by x. 'AND' - Given two regular expressions x and y, x AND y matches the intersection of the Community attribute that are matched by x and those are matched by y. 'OR' - Given two regular expressions x and y, x OR y matches the union of the Community attribute that are matched by x and those are matched by y. For example: The Community path '1 2 3 4 5' would be match by any one of the following regular expression: 1, 5, 4 3, 2 3 - 4*, 1 [3 4 2]+, not (6 7 8 9 10) and 1 2 Empty regular expression implies a match on all Community path.

What is mscVrIpBgpImportCommunityExpression?

A regular expression (RFC 2280 subset) matched against the BGP Community attribute of incoming updates, letting this import policy target routes by community tag, e.g. matching community '5' with the expression '5'. An empty expression matches every community set.
