Default Configuration Client-to-client reflection is enabled by default when a router is configured as a route reflector. Command Mode IPv6 Address Family Configuration mode User Guidelines Route reflection can change the routes clients select. A route reflector only reflects those routes it selects as best routes. Best route selection can be influenced by the IGP metric of the route to reach the BGP next hop. Since a client's IGP distance to a given next hop may differ from route reflector's IGP distance, a route reflector may not re-advertise a route a client would have selected as best in the absence of route reflection. One way to avoid this effect is to fully mesh the clients within a cluster. When clients are fully meshed, there is no need for the cluster's route reflectors to reflect client routes to other clients within the cluster. When client-to-client reflection is disabled, a route reflector continues to reflect routes from non-clients to clients and from clients to non-clients. The same command is available in BGP Router Configuration mode for IPv4 routes. Command History Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware. Example console(config-router-af-ipv6)#bgp client-to-client reflection bgp cluster-id Use the bgp cluster-id command to specify the cluster ID of a route reflector. To revert the cluster ID to its default, use the no form of this command. Syntax bgp cluster-id cluster-id no bgp cluster-id Layer 3 Routing Commands 1318
