BGP Commands

ip bgp client-to-client reflection

Enables or disables this BGP speaker (router) to be a route reflector. Route reflectors advertise routing
information to internal BGP peers, referred to as clients. BGP requires all internal routers to know all
routes in an AS. This requirement demands a fully meshed (each router has a direct connection to all other
routers in the AS) topology. Route reflection loosens the fully meshed restriction by assigning certain
BGP routers as route reflectors, which take on the responsibility of advertising routing information to local
BGP peers.
