Reference Guide
If you identify a peer group by name, the peers in that peer group inherit the characteristics in
the Route map used in this command. If you identify a peer by IP address, the Route map
overwrites either the inbound or outbound policies on that peer.
neighbor route-reflector-client
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
ip-address
Enter the IP address of the neighbor in dotted decimal format.
peer-group-name
Enter the name of the peer group.
All routers in the peer group receive routes from a route reflector.
Defaults Not configured.

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 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.

Commands
