DXS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed 10Gigabit Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide
Command Default Level
Level: 12.
Usage Guideline
If a BGP peer group is specified for the command, all the members of the peer group will inherit the
setting configured with this command.
In a large scale BGP network, route reflection is a mechanism used to reduce the needs of full mesh of
iBGP sessions. With route reflection, an autonomous system can be partitioned into a number of clusters.
Each cluster is formed by the route reflector and its client. The connection between clusters is still fully
meshed. However, in a cluster, the reflector needs to maintain connections with all clients, but the client
does not need to maintain connections with other clients. The route reflector is responsible to reflect
routes received from one client to other clients.
Use the neighbor route-reflector-client command on the route reflector to configure the route reflection
client. When a router is configured with the route reflection clients, the router becomes the route reflector.
Use the bgp cluster-id command to configure the cluster ID when a cluster has more than on route
reflector. Use the no bgp client-to-client reflection command to disable the route reflection when the
connections between clients are already fully meshed.
Example
This example shows how to add a neighbor as the route reflector client.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# router bgp 50
Switch(config)# address-family ipv4
Switch(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.20.10.2 remote-as 50
Switch(config-router-af)# neighbor 10.20.10.2 route-reflector-client
10-55 neighbor send-community
This command is used to specify to send the specified type of community attributes to a BGP neighbor.
Use the no form of this command to disable sending of the specified type of community attributes.
neighbor {IP-ADDRESS | PEER-GROUP-NAME} send-community [both | standard | extended]
no neighbor {IP-ADDRESS | PEER-GROUP-NAME} send-community [both | standard | extended]
Parameters
IP-ADDRESS
PEER-GROUP-NAME
both
standard
extended
Default
The community attributes will not be sent.
Command Mode
Router Configuration Mode.
Address Family Configuration (IPv4 unicast, VPNv4 and VRF) Mode.
Specifies the IP address of the neighbor peer.
Specifies the name of the BGP peer group.
Specifies to send or not to send both standard and extended
community.
Specifies to send or not to send the standard community.
Specifies to send or not to send the extended community.
