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.
