User Guidelines
Normally, a router does not readvertise BGP routes received from an internal
peer to other internal peers. If you configure a peer as a route reflector client,
this router will readvertise such routes. A router is a route reflector if it has
one or more route reflector clients. Configuring the first route reflector client
automatically makes the router a route reflector.
If you configure multiple route reflectors within a cluster, you must configure
each route reflector in the cluster with the same cluster ID. Use the bgp
cluster-id command to configure a cluster ID.
An external peer may not be configured as a route reflector client.
When reflecting a route, BGP ignores the set statements in an outbound
route map to avoid causing the receiver to compute routes that are
inconsistent with other routers in the AS.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware.
