neighbor route-reflector-client
c e s
Configure the router as a route reflector and the specified neighbors as members of the cluster.
Syntax
neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name} route-reflector-client
To remove one or more neighbors from a cluster, use the no neighbor {ip-address |
peer-group-name} route-reflector-client command. If you delete all members of a cluster, you
also delete the route-reflector configuration on the router.
Parameters
Defaults
Not configured.
Command Modes

Usage
Information
A route reflector reflects routes to the neighbors assigned to the cluster. Neighbors in the cluster do not
need not be fully meshed. By default, when no route reflector is used, internal BGP (IBGP) speakers in
the network must be fully meshed.
The first time you enter this command the router is configured as a route reflector and the specified
BGP neighbors are configured 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.
