128 CHAPTER 5: ROUTING PROTOCOL OPERATION
Figure 12 The Route Reflector Diagram
The reflector is the router that can complete the route reflection function. The
route reflector regards the IBGP peers as client and non-client. All peers that do
not belong to such cluster in the autonomous system are the non-clients. The
designation of route reflector and the addition of the client peer are implemented
with the command peer reflect-client.
The client peer does not establish a peer-relationship with IBGP outside the
relevant cluster. The non-client peer and the route reflector, as well as one
non-client peer and the other non-client peer, forms a fully meshed network
because they follow the basic principles of IBGP fully meshed network. The route
reflection function is only completed on route reflector, and all client peers and
non-client peers are routine BGP peers. The client peers are client peers just
because the route reflector lists them as client peers.
Configuring Route Reflection Between Clients Perform the following
configurations in BGP view.
By default, the reflection between clients is disabled.
Configuring the Cluster ID Generally, there is only one route reflector in a
cluster.
Perform the following configurations in BGP view.
By default, the router ID of the route reflector is used as the cluster ID.
