An RR and all its clients form a cluster. To ensure network reliability and avoid
single-point failure, you can configure more than one RR in a cluster. In this case,
make sure all the RRs in the cluster are configured with the same cluster ID to avoid
routing loops. Figure shows a cluster containing two RRs.

RR is unnecessary for clients that are already fully connected. You can disable routing
information reflection using corresponding commands provided by the switches.
Note:
The configuration to disable routing information reflection only applies to clients. That
is, routing information can still be reflected between a client and a non-client even if
you disable routing information reflection.
