Configuring a BGP route reflector

If an AS has many BGP routers, you can configure them as a cluster and configure one of them as a route
reflector and others as clients to reduce IBGP connections.
To enhance network reliability and prevent single point of failure, specify multiple route reflectors for a
cluster. The route reflectors in the cluster must have the same cluster ID to avoid routing loops.
In general, it is not required to make clients of a route reflector fully meshed. The route reflector forwards
routing information between clients. If clients are fully meshed, disable route reflection between clients to
reduce routing costs.
To configure a BGP route reflector:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter BGP view or BGP-VPN
instance view.
