Dell PowerSwitch S5212F-ON EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0 - Page 578

When you enable a route reflector, the system automatically enables route reflection to all clients. To disable route reflection between all clients in this reflector, use the no bgp client-to-client reflection command in ROUTER-BGP mode. You must fully mesh all the clients before you disable route reflection. Configure BGP route reflector OS10(config)# router bgp 102 OS10(conf-router-bgp-102)# cluster-id 4294967295 OS10(conf-router-bgp-102)# neighbor 32.1.1.2 OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# route-reflector-client OS10(conf-router-neighbor)# exit OS10(conf-router-bgp-102)# template zanzibar OS10(conf-router-template)# route-reflector-client Aggregate routes OS10 provides multiple ways to aggregate routes in the BGP routing table. At least one route of the aggregate must be in the routing table for the configured aggregate route to become active. AS_SET includes AS_PATH and community information from the routes that are included in the aggregated route. 1. Assign an AS number in CONFIGURATION mode. router bgp as-number 2. Enter Address Family mode in ROUTER-BGP mode. address-family {[ipv4 | ipv6] [unicast]} 3. Aggregate address in ROUTER-BGPv4-AF mode. aggregate-address ip-address/mask Configure aggregate routes OS10(config)# router bgp 105 OS10(conf-router-bgp-105)# address-family ipv4 unicast OS10(conf-router-bgpv4-af)# aggregate-address 3.3.0.0/16 View running configuration OS10(conf-router-bgpv4-af)# do show running-configuration bgp !

As with route reflectors, Dell EMC recommends BGP confederations only for IBGP peering involving many IBGP peering sessions per router. When you configure BGP confederations, you break the AS into smaller sub-ASs. To devices outside your network, the confederations appear as one AS. Within the confederation sub-AS, the IBGP neighbors are fully meshed and the MED, NEXT_HOP, and LOCAL_PREF attributes maintain between confederations. 578 Layer 3
