neighbor route-reflector-client

Configures a neighbor as a route-reflector client.

Syntax

neighbor { ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name } route-reflector-client

no neighbor { ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name } route-reflector-client

Parameters

ip-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the neighbor
ipv6-address: IPv6 address of the neighbor
peer-group-name: Specifies the peer group name configured by the neighbor peer-group-name command.

Modes

BGP configuration mode

BGP address-family IPv4 unicast configuration mode

BGP address-family IPv4 unicast vrf configuration mode

BGP address-family IPv6 unicast configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use this command on a host device to configure a neighbor to be a route-reflector client. The host device from which the configuration is made becomes a route-reflector server.

Examples

The following example configures an IPv4 neighbor as a route-reflector client.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv4u)# neighbor 10.11.12.13 route-reflector-client

The following example configures an IPv6 neighbor as a route-reflector client.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv4u)# neighbor 2000::1 route-reflector-client

The following example configures an IPv6 neighbor to be a route-reflector client for VRF instance "red".

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast vrf red
device(config-bgp-ipv4u-vrf)# neighbor 2001:2018:8192::125 route-reflector-client
