Disabling or re-enabling client-to-client route reflection

always-propagate command, the router is now able to advertise those preferred BGP4 routes to
other BGP4 neighbors. In the following example, the Status field displays “bE” indicating that the
route is now considered the best BGP4 route for forwarding and will be advertised to other BGP4
neighbors.

For an explanation of the fields displayed in the output of the show ip bgp route command, refer to

Table 11

on page 135.

Disabling or re-enabling client-to-client
route reflection

By default, the clients of a route reflector are not required to be fully meshed. Routes from a client
are reflected to other clients. However, if the clients are fully meshed, route reflection is not
required between clients.

If you need to disable route reflection between clients, enter the no client-to-client-reflection
command. When this feature is disabled, route reflection does not occur between clients does still
occur between clients and non-clients.

Brocade(config-bgp)# no client-to-client-reflection

Enter the following command to re-enable the feature.

Brocade(config-bgp)# client-to-client-reflection

Syntax: [no] client-to-client-reflection

Configuring a route reflector

You can configure one cluster ID on the device so that all route-reflector clients for the device
become members of the cluster.

To configure a device with cluster id 1, enter the following command.

Brocade(config-bgp)# cluster-id 1

Syntax: [no] cluster-id num | ip-addr

The num | ip-addr parameters specify the cluster ID (1 – 4294967295) or an IP address. The
default is the device ID.

Brocade(config-bgp)# show ip bgp route 10.12.0.0/24
