Use this command in IPv4 VRF Address Familyconfiguration mode to configure an internal peer as an IPv4 route reflector client.
Normally, a router does not readvertise BGP routes received from an internal peer to other internal peers. If you configure a peer as a route reflector client, this router readvertises such routes. A router is a route reflector if it has one or more route reflector clients. Configuring the first route reflector client automatically makes the router a route reflector.
If you configure multiple route reflectors within a cluster, you must configure each route reflector in the cluster with the same cluster ID. Use the bgp cluster-id command to configure a cluster ID.
An external peer may not be configured as a route reflector client.
When reflecting a route, BGP ignores the set statements in an outbound route map to avoid causing the receiver to compute routes that are inconsistent with other routers in the AS.
