## Route Server Control
You may use BGP Standard/Extended/Large Communities to control route advertisement via the route servers:
* **(6695:6695), (6695:1:0):** Redistribute to all route server peers (default)
* **(6695:$PEER-AS), (rt:6695:$PEER-AS), (6695:1:6695):** Redistribute to $PEER-AS
* **(0:$PEER-AS), (rt:0:$PEER-AS), (6695:0:$PEER-AS):** Do not redistribute to $PEER-AS
* **(0:6695), (6695:0:0):** Do not redistribute
If $PEER-AS uses a 16b ASN, you may use Standard, Extended or Large Communities
If $PEER-AS uses a 32b ASN, you have to use Extended or Large Communities
There are additional communities for controlling announcements:
* **65535:0** GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN
