This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

By default, the clients of a route reflector are not required to be fully meshed and the routes from a client are reflected to other clients. However, if the clients are fully meshed, route reflection is not required. Use the no bgp client-to-client reflection command to disable client-to-client reflection.

If client-to-client reflection is enabled, the clients of a route reflector cannot be members of a peer group.

Examples

In the following example, the local router is a route reflector. The three neighbors are fully meshed, so client-to-client reflection is disabled.

router bgp 5
 neighbor 155.24.95.22 route-reflector-client
 neighbor 155.24.95.23 route-reflector-client
 neighbor 155.24.95.24 route-reflector-client
 no bgp client-to-client reflection
