Configuring An Mbgp Route Reflector - HP A5500 SI Switch Series Configuration Manual

To do...
Enter IPv4 MBGP address family view
Advertise the
community attribute
to an MBGP
peer/peer group
Apply a routing policy to routes
advertised to an MBGP peer/peer
group
CAUTION:
When you configure the MBGP community attribute, you must reference a routing policy to define the
specific community attributes, and apply the routing policy for route advertisement.
For routing policy configuration, see the

Configuring an MBGP route reflector

To guarantee the connectivity between multicast iBGP peers in an AS, you must make them fully meshed.
This becomes impractical when large numbers of multicast iBGP peers exist. Configuring route reflectors
can solve this problem.
Follow these steps to configure an MBGP route reflector:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter BGP view
Enter IPv4 MBGP address family
view
Configure the router as a route
reflector and specify an MBGP
peer/peer group as its client
Enable route reflection between
clients
Configure the cluster ID of the
route reflector
Use the command...
ipv4-family multicast
Advertise the
community
attribute to an peer { group-name | ip-address }
MBGP advertise-community
peer/peer
group
Advertise the
extended
community
peer { group-name | ip-address }
attribute to an
advertise-ext-community
MBGP
peer/peer
group
peer { group-name | ip-address }
route-policy route-policy-name
export
