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 reflector, the cluster ID is the route reflector’s router ID. For
redundancy, a BGP cluster may contain two or more route reflectors and you assign a cluster ID with the
bgp cluster-id command. Without a cluster ID, the route reflector cannot recognize route updates
from the other route reflectors 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 displays as an integer.

Usage
Information
The autonomous systems configured in this command are visible to the EBGP neighbors. Each
autonomous system is fully meshed and contains a few connections to other autonomous systems. The
next hop, MED, and local preference information is preserved throughout the confederation.
The system accepts confederation EBGP peers without a LOCAL_PREF attribute. The software sends
AS_CONFED_SET and accepts AS_CONFED_SET and AS_CONF_SEQ.
bgp confederation peers
Specify the autonomous systems (ASs) that belong to the BGP confederation.
Syntax
bgp confederation peers as-number [...as-number]
To remove bgp confederation peers, use the no bgp confederation peer command.
Parameters
as-number Enter the AS number. The range is 1 to 65535.
...as-number (OPTIONAL) Enter up to 16 confederation numbers. The range is from 1 to 65535.
Defaults Not configured.
