BGP Reflector Settings

This window is used to view and configure the BGP reflector settings. In a large scale BGP network, route
reflection is a mechanism used to reduce the needs of fully mesh of iBGP sessions. With route reflection,
an autonomous system can be partitioned into a number of clusters; each cluster is formed by the route
reflector and its client. The connection between clusters is still fully meshed. However, in a cluster, the
reflector needs to maintain connections with all clients, but the client does not need to maintain
connections with other clients. The route reflector is responsible to reflect routes received from one client
to other clients.
Each cluster is distinguished by a cluster ID. The cluster ID configured on the route reflector is the ID of
the cluster. When cluster ID is not configured on the route reflector, the router ID of the reflector will be
the cluster ID.
