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
