configure bgp neighbor route-reflector-client
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 1421
configure bgp neighbor route-reflector-client
configure bgp neighbor [<ip address> | all] [route-reflector-client |
no-route-reflector-client]
Description
Configures a BGP neighbor to be a route reflector client.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Another way to overcome the difficulties of creating a fully-meshed AS is to use route reflectors. Route
reflectors allow a single router to serve as a central routing point for the AS or sub-AS.
Use this command to implicitly define the router to be a route reflector. The neighbor must be in the
same AS as the router.
When changing the route reflector status of a peer, the peer will automatically be disabled and
re-enabled and a warning message will appear on the console and in the log.
A cluster is formed by the route reflector and its client routers. Peer routers that are not part of the
cluster must be fully meshed according to the rules of BGP.
Example
The following command configures a BGP neighbor to be a route reflector client:
configure bgp neighbor 192.168.1.5 route-reflector-client
