Configuring BGP LS route reflection

Perform this task to configure a BGP route reflector and its clients. The route reflector and its clients automatically form a cluster identified by the router ID of the route reflector. The route reflector forwards route updates among its clients.

To configure BGP LS route reflection:

Step

Command

4. Configure the device as a route reflector and specify a peer or peer group as its client.

peer { group-name | ipv4-address [ mask-length ] | ipv6-address [ prefix-length ] } reflect-client

By default, no route reflector or client is configured.

5. Enable route reflection between clients.

reflect between-clients

By default, a route reflector uses its own router ID as the cluster ID.
