VPRN Service Configuration Commands
the cluster. If the route came from a client peer, the route reflector sends the route to all non-client
peers and to all client peers except the originator.
For redundancy, a cluster can have multiple route reflectors.
Confederations can also be used to remove the full IBGP mesh requirement within an AS.
The no form of the command deletes the cluster ID and effectively disables the Route Reflection for
the given group.
Default
no cluster — No cluster ID is defined.
Parameters cluster-id — The route reflector cluster ID is expressed in dot decimal notation.
connect-retry
Syntax connect-retry seconds
no connect-retry
Context config>service>vprn>bgp
config>service>vprn>bgp>group
config>service>vprn>bgp>group>neighbor
Description
This command configures the BGP connect retry timer value in seconds.
When this timer expires, BGP tries to reconnect to the configured peer. This configuration parameter
can be set at three levels: global level (applies to all peers), peer-group level (applies to all peers in
group) or neighbor level (only applies to specified peer). The most specific value is used.
The no form of the command used at the global level reverts to the default value.
The no form of the command used at the group level reverts to the value defined at the global level.
The no form of the command used at the neighbor level reverts to the value defined at the group level.
Default
120 seconds
Parameters seconds — The BGP Connect Retry timer value in seconds, expressed as a decimal integer.
damping
Syntax [no] damping
Context config>service>vprn>bgp
config>service>vprn>bgp>group
config>service>vprn>bgp>group>neighbor
Description
This command enables BGP route damping for learned routes which are defined within the route
policy. Use damping to reduce the number of update messages sent between BGP peers and reduce
the load on peers without affecting the route convergence time for stable routes. Damping parameters
are set via route policy definition.
