Hello

This is a correct way, but (135402, 101) is not a correct community -
each field is 16b, so maximum is (65535, 65535). There are probably
related error messages in the log.

You could also use per-route commands:

  route 0.0.0.0/0 reject {
     bgp_community.add((64512, 101));
     bgp_community.add((64512, 211));
  };
