neighbor route-reflector-client


Specifies whether an internal peer is a route reflector client.

Syntax: [no] neighbor ip-address route-reflector-client

ip-address

IP address of a internal BGP neighbor identified as a route-reflector client.

Description: BGP requires that all internal BGP speakers are fully meshed. To reduce the size of the mesh, configure BGP speakers as route reflectors. Route reflectors pass internal learned routes to a set of internal BGP neighbors. When route reflectors clients are configured, the route-reflector is responsible for distributing internal BGP routes to other internal BGP neighbors.

Use the neighbor route-reflector-client command to identify the specified neighbor as a client and (implicitly) the local router as a route reflector. Specifying one client is sufficient to identify the local BGP route as a route reflector.

Use the command multiple times to identify multiple route-reflector clients.

Use the no neighbor route-reflector-client command to specify that a neighbor is not a route-reflector client for this router. If all clients are disabled, the local router is not considered a route-reflector.

Factory Default: No route reflector in the autonomous system.

Command Mode: Router configuration.

Example: In the following example, the neighbor route-reflector-client command configures neighbor 121.80.100.4 as a route-reflector client and the show ip bgp neighbor command displays the setting:

router(config)#router bgp 101

router(config-router)#neighbor 121.80.100.4 remote-as 101

router(config-router)#neighbor 121.80.100.4 route-reflector-client

router(config-router)#end

router#show ip bgp neighbor 121.80.100.4

BGP neighbor 121.80.100.4 using remote AS 101

router ID: 0.0.0.0 version: 4

state: Active time: 0:00:00

def orignat: False ebgp multihop: False

n hop self: False route ref client: True
