Configuring BGP Route Reflectors

BGP route reflectors are intended for ASs with a large mesh; they reduce the amount of BGP control traffic.

With route reflection configured properly, IBGP routers are not fully meshed within a cluster but all receive routing information.

Configure clusters of routers where one router is a concentration router and the others are clients who receive their updates from the concentration router.

To configure a route reflector, use the following commands.

  • Assign an ID to a router reflector cluster. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode bgp cluster-id cluster-id You can have multiple clusters in an AS.
  • Configure the local router as a route reflector and the neighbor or peer group identified is the route reflector client. CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode neighbor { ip-address | peer-group-name} route-reflector-client
When you enable a route reflector, the system automatically enables route reflection to all clients. To disable route reflection between all clients in this reflector, use the no bgp client-to-client reflection command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. All clients must be fully meshed before you disable route reflection.
To view a route reflector configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or the show running-config bgp in EXEC Privilege mode.
