Configuring a Route Reflector
To avoid the resource cost of a full-mesh topology to support IBGP speakers
within a large AS, you can configure a router to function as an IBGP route
reflector (RR). An IBGP speaker that needs to communicate with other BGP
speakers in the AS establishes a single peer-to-peer RR client session with the
IBGP route reflector.
A route reflector does the following:
• Receives route advertisements from RR clients and other reflectors
• Forwards best-route advertisements to RR clients and other reflectors
You configure an IBGP speaker to be a route reflector or RR client and establish
peer-to-peer connections between reflectors and clients as described in the
following topics:

Configuring an RR Client 6-10
Note:
When you configure a session between two IBGP route reflectors or
between an RR and an RR client, you must configure both ends of the session.
