neighbors, and all routes received from any other internal neighbors will be sent to
the reflector clients. Since the route reflector forwards routes in this way, the reflector-
client group need not be fully meshed. Use only for INTERNAL, ROUTING and IGP
groups.
no-client-reflect
If the no-client-reflect option is specified, routes received from reflector clients will
only be sent to internal neighbors which are not in the same group as the sending
reflector client. In this case the reflector-client group should be fully meshed. In all
cases, routes received from normal internal peers will be sent to all reflector clients.
Note that it is necessary to export routes from the local AS into the local AS when
acting as a route reflector. The reflector-client option specifies that GateD will act as a
route reflector for this group. All routes received from any group member will be sent
to all other internal neighbors, and all routes received from any other internal
neighbors will be sent to the reflector clients. Since the route reflector forwards routes
in this way, the reflector-client group need not be fully meshed.
metric-out <num>
Specifies the primary metric used on all routes sent to the specified peer group.
Specify a number from 0 - 65535.
set-pref <num>
Routes propagated by IBGP must include a Local_Pref attribute. By default, BGP
sends the Local_Pref path attribute as 100, and ignores it on receipt. GateD BGP does
not use Local_Pref as a route-preference decision maker unless the setpref option has
been set. For Routing- or Internal-type groups, the setpref option allows GateD's
global protocol preference to be exported into Local_Pref and allows Local_Pref to be
used for GateD's route selection preference. Note that the setpref option is the only
way for GateD to send a route with a given local_pref. The local_pref is never set
directly, but rather as a function of the GateD preference and setpref metrics. Allows
BGP's LOCAL_PREF attribute to be used to set the GateD preference on reception,
and allows the GateD preference to set the LOCAL_PREF on transmission. The set-
pref metric works as a lower limit, below which the imported LOCAL_PREF may not
set the GateD preference. Use only for INTERNAL, ROUTING, and IGP groups.
Specify a number from 0 - 255.
local-as <num>
Identifies the autonomous system which the router is representing to this group of
peers. The default is the one configured by the set autonomous_system command.
Specify a number from 1 - 65534.
ignore-first-as-hop
Some routers, known as Route Servers, are capable of propagating routes without
appending their own AS to the AS path. By default, GateD will drop such routes.
Specifying ignore-first-as-hop here or on either the create peer-group or set peer-host
CLI commands disables this feature. This option should only be used if it is positively
known that the peer is a route server and not a normal router.
