## Route Server Control
You may use BGP Standard or Large Communities to control route redistribution via the route servers:
* **(62499:62499), (62499:1:0):** Redistribute to all route server peers (default)
* **(62499:<peer ASN>), (62499:1:<peer ASN>):** Redistribute to <peer ASN>
* **(0:<peer ASN>), (62499:0:<peer ASN>):** Do not redistribute to <peer ASN>
* **(0:62499), (62499:0:0):** Do not redistribute
If <peer ASN> uses a 16b ASN, you may use BGP Standard or Large Communities
If <peer ASN> uses a 32b ASN, you have to use BGP Large Communities
There are additional communities for controlling announcements:
* **65535:0** GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN
* **65535:666** BLACKHOLE
* **62499:65281** NO_EXPORT
* **62499:65282** NO_ADVERTISE
