BGP community strings getting converted to decimal

[johnnylingo]

I've noticed in IOS 15.x routers, community strings are getting converted to decimal after being entered:

Router(config)#route-map BGP per 10
Router(config-route-map)#set community 65535:12345
Router(config-route-map)#do show route-map BGP
route-map BGP, permit, sequence 10
  Match clauses:
  Set clauses:
    community 4294914105
  Policy routing matches: 0 packets, 0 bytes

Is there a setting that will keep them as strings, just as entered?  That's what our older routers running 12.x do.

can you configure "ip bgp-community new-format" in global config. seems you are missing this config.

Yep, that did it.
