Use this command to configure the router as a BGP route reflector and configure the specified
neighbor as its client.
Use the
no
parameter with this command to indicate that the neighbor is not a client.

Mode

Usage
Route reflectors are a solution for the explosion of iBGP peering within an autonomous system.
By route reflection the number of iBGP peers within an AS is reduced. Use the
neighbor
route-reflector-client
command to configure the local router as the route reflector and specify
neighbors as its client.
An AS can have more than one route reflector. One route reflector treats the other route
reflector as another iBGP speaker.
In the following configuration, Router1 is the route reflector for clients 3.3.3.3 and 2.2.2.2; it also
has a non-client peer 6.6.6.6.
Router1#
router bgp 200
neighbor 3.3.3.3 remote-as 200
neighbor 3.3.3.3 route-reflector-client
neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 200
neighbor 2.2.2.2 route-reflector-client
neighbor 6.6.6.6 remote-as 200
