Configuring a Route Reflector

You can use the BCC or Site Manager to perform the following operations:
• Associate a route reflector with a cluster.
• Establish a peer-to-peer session with a server in another cluster.
Using the BCC
To associate a route reflector with a cluster, navigate to the BGP global prompt
and enter:
cluster-id
<cluster_id>
cluster_id
is the ID number of the cluster in which the route reflector is located.
For example, the following command associates the route reflector with cluster 5:
/jointfilesconvert/106988/bgp# cluster-id 5
/jointfilesconvert/106988/bgp#
To establish a peer-to-peer session with a route reflector in another cluster,
navigate to the BGP global prompt and enter:
peer local
<local_reflector_address>
remote
<remote_reflector_address>
as
<as_number>
local_reflector_address
is the IP address of an interface on the local route
reflector.
remote_reflector_address
is the IP address of an interface on the remote reflector
in another cluster.
as_number
is an integer identifying the AS in which the remote server is located.
When the session-specific prompt appears, enter the following command to
specify that the remote peer is a route reflector in another cluster:
peer-mode reflector-external
For example, the following command sequence defines a peer-to-peer session
between two route reflectors (represented by addresses 2.2.2.2 and 2.2.2.3)
located in different clusters in AS 2:
ip# /jointfilesconvert/106988/bgp
/jointfilesconvert/106988/bgp# peer local 2.2.2.2 remote 2.2.2.3 as 2
peer/2.2.2.2/2.2.2.3# peer-mode reflector-external
peer/2.2.2.2/2.2.2.3#
