Parameters
ip-address Enter an IP address as the route reector cluster ID.

Defaults Not congured.
Command Modes ROUTER BGP
Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
When a BGP cluster contains only one route reector, the cluster ID is the route reector’s router ID. For
redundancy, a BGP cluster may contain two or more route reectors. Assign a cluster ID with the bgp cluster-
id command. Without a cluster ID, the route reector cannot recognize route updates from the other route
reectors within the cluster.
The default format for displaying the cluster-id is dotted decimal, but if you enter the cluster-id as an integer, it is
displayed as an integer.
Related Commands
bgp client-to-client reection — enables route reection between the route reector and clients.
neighbor route-reector-client — congures a route reector and clients.
show ip bgp cluster-list — views paths with a cluster ID.
bgp confederation identier
Congure an identier for a BGP confederation.
Syntax
bgp confederation identifier as-number
To delete a BGP confederation identier, use the no bgp confederation identifier as-number
command.
Parameters
as-number Enter the AS number. The range is from 0 to 65535 (2 byte), from 1 to 4294967295 (4
byte), or from 0.1 to 65535.65535 (dotted format).
