Consider the following BGP configuration on a Cisco IOS-XE router:
router bgp 65001 neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 65002 neighbor 10.0.0.2 route-map SET_COMMUNITY out
! route-map SET_COMMUNITY permit 10 set community 65001:100

Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The router will set the community to 65001:100 on all routes advertised to neighbor 10.0.0.2.
The route-map is applied to outbound updates to neighbor 10.0.0.2. It sets the BGP community value to 65001:100 on all routes advertised to that neighbor. The community is a well-known transitive attribute that can be used for routing policy.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The router will set the community to 65001:100 on all routes received from neighbor 10.0.0.2.
Why it's wrong here
The route-map is applied outbound, affecting routes sent to the neighbor, not received.
- ✓
The router will set the community to 65001:100 on all routes advertised to neighbor 10.0.0.2.
Why this is correct
The 'out' direction and route-map cause the community to be set on outbound updates.
- ✗
The router will filter routes with community 65001:100 from being advertised.
Why it's wrong here
The route-map permits all routes and sets the community; it does not filter.
- ✗
The router will remove the community from routes advertised to the neighbor.
Why it's wrong here
The community is being set, not removed.
