Version Description
7.7.1.0 Introduced on the C-Series.
Usage
Information
A route reflector reflects routes to the neighbors assigned to the cluster. Neighbors in the cluster do not
need not to be fully meshed. By default, when you use no route reflector, the internal BGP (IBGP)
speakers in the network must be fully meshed.
The first time you enter this command, the router configures as a route reflector and the specified BGP
neighbors configure as clients in the route-reflector cluster.
When you remove all clients of a route reflector using the no neighbor route-reflector-client
command, the router no longer functions as a route reflector.
If the clients of a route reflector are fully meshed, you can configure the route reflector to not reflect
routes to specified clients by using the no bgp client-to-client reflection command.

Commands
