The rst time you enter this command, the router congures as a route reector and the specied BGP neighbors
congure as clients in the route-reector cluster.
When you remove all clients of a route reector using the no neighbor route-reflector-client
command, the router no longer functions as a route reector.
If the clients of a route reector are fully meshed, you can congure the route reector to not reect routes to
specied clients by using the no bgp client-to-client reflection command.
Related Commands bgp client-to-client reection — enables route reection between the route reector and the clients.
