BGP communities

[Fabiano D'Agostino]

Does 'show route where' exist as command? Because I have syntax error.
Anyway I set up my route server as here:
https://www.slideshare.net/apnic/bird-routing-daemon
But I am having the problem described here:
https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2010-September/001620.html

I just edited the bird.conf of the route server, should I also edit the
bird.conf of the routers which are peering with the route server?

Thanks,
