Neighbor Route-Reflector-Client - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 Series Software Reference Manual

neighbor route-reflector-client

Use this command to configure the router as a BGP route reflector and configure the specified
neighbor as its client.
Use the no parameter with this command to indicate that the neighbor is not a client.
Syntax
neighbor <neighborid> route-reflector-client
no neighbor <neighborid> route-reflector-client
Parameter
<neighborid>
Router mode and Address Family [ipv4 unicast | ipv4 multicast] mode
Mode
Route reflectors are a solution for the explosion of iBGP peering within an autonomous system.
Usage
By route reflection the number of iBGP peers within an AS is reduced. Use the neighbor
route-reflector-client command to configure the local router as the route reflector and
specify neighbors as its client.
An AS can have more than one route reflector. One route reflector treats the other route
reflector as another iBGP speaker.
In the following configuration, Router1 is the route reflector for clients 3.3.3.3 and
2.2.2.2; it also has a non-client peer 6.6.6.6.
Router1#
router bgp 200
neighbor 3.3.3.3 remote-as 200
neighbor 3.3.3.3 route-reflector-client
neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 200
neighbor 2.2.2.2 route-reflector-client
neighbor 6.6.6.6 remote-as 200
