Usage Information
A route reector reects routes to the neighbors assigned to the cluster. Neighbors in the cluster do not need not
to be fully meshed. By default, when you use no route reflector, the internal BGP (IBGP) speakers in the
network must be fully meshed.
The rst time you enter this command, the router congures as a route reector and the specied BGP neighbors
congure as clients in the route-reector cluster.
When you remove all clients of a route reector using the no neighbor route-reflector-client
command, the router no longer functions as a route reector.
If the clients of a route reector are fully meshed, you can congure the route reector to not reect routes to
specied clients by using the no bgp client-to-client reflection command.
This command automatically restarts the neighbor session for the conguration to take eect.
