Configure a BGP4 Route-Reflector Client

You can configure a BGP peer as a route-reflector client.

1. Access global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal

2. Access BGP configuration mode.
   

   device(config)# router bgp

3. Specify the autonomous system in which your device resides.
   

   device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 1000

4. Access IPv4 address family configuration mode.
   

   device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast

5. Specify the neighbor to be a route-reflector client.
   

   device(config-bgp-ipv4u)# neighbor 10.1.1.1 route-reflector-client

   This example configures neighbor 10.1.1.1 as a route-reflector client.
