Configuring a Route Reflector for BGP

Perform this task to configure a route reflector for BGP.
All the neighbors configured with the route-reflector-clientcommand are members of the client group, and
the remaining iBGP peers are members of the nonclient group for the local route reflector.
Together, a route reflector and its clients form a cluster. A cluster of clients usually has a single route reflector.
In such instances, the cluster is identified by the software as the router ID of the route reflector. To increase
redundancy and avoid a single point of failure in the network, a cluster can have more than one route reflector.
If it does, all route reflectors in the cluster must be configured with the same 4-byte cluster ID so that a route
reflector can recognize updates from route reflectors in the same cluster. The bgp cluster-id command is used
to configure the cluster ID when the cluster has more than one route reflector.

Configuring a Route Reflector for BGP
Purpose
Places the router in neighbor configuration mode for BGP
routing and configures the neighbor IP address as a BGP
peer.
(Optional) Specifies that the BGP neighbor inherit
configuration from the specified neighbor group.
Creates a neighbor and assigns a remote autonomous system
number to it.
