neighbor route-reflector-client (BGP)
Use this command to configure the router as a BGP route reflector and configure the
specified neighbor as its client.
Use the no variant of this command to indicate that the neighbor is not a client.
Syntax neighbor <neighborid> route-reflector-client
no neighbor <neighborid> route-reflector-client
Mode
Router Configuration or IPv4 Address Family Configuration for a VRF instance
Usage Route reflectors are a solution for the explosion of iBGP peering within an autonomous
system. By route reflection the number of iBGP peers within an AS is reduced. Use the
neighbor route-reflector-client command to configure the local router as the route
reflector and specify neighbors as its client.
An AS can have more than one route reflector. One route reflector treats the other route
reflector as another iBGP speaker.
In the following configuration, Router1 is the route reflector for clients 3.3.3.3 and
2.2.2.2; it also has a non-client peer 6.6.6.6:
Examples
Parameter Description
<neighborid>{<ip-address>|<peer-group>}
<ip-address> The address of an IPv4 BGP neighbor, in dotted
decimal notation A.B.C.D.
<peer-group> Enter the name of an existing peer-group. For
information on how to create peer groups, refer
to the neighbor peer-group (add a neighbor)
(BGP and BGP+) command on page 3.144, and
neighbor route-map (BGP and BGP4+)
command on page 3.159. When this parameter
is used with this command, the command
applies on all peers in the specified group.
