To resolve this, CLI configuration is necessary.

 

Running the following configuration...

 

config router community-list

    edit "test1"

    set type ?

 

... Will show this result:

Here, it is necessary to select the ‘expanded’ option to configure anything above 65535:1.

Use this command to configure the expanded option:

 

set type expanded

 

After that, create a rule for the community number. In this example, 375691:1 is used.

 

config rule

edit 1

set action permit

set regexp 375691:1

end

end

 

The results will look like the following:

After, the list will be configured, and it will show in the GUI:
