client-to-client-reflection

Enables routes from one client to be reflected to other clients by the host device on which reflection is configured.
Syntax
client-to-client-reflection
no client-to-client-reflection
Command Default

Client to client reflection is enabled.

Modes

BGP configuration mode

BGP address-family IPv6 unicast configuration mode

BGP L2VPN EVPN address family configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The host device on which reflection is configured becomes the route-reflector server.

When this command is entered in BGP global configuration mode, it applies only to the IPv4 address family. Use this command in BGP address-family IPv6 unicast configuration mode for BGP4+ configurations. Use this command in BGP L2VPN EVPN address family configuration mode for BGP L2VPN EVPN configurations.

This command can be configured in BGP L2VPN EVPN address family configuration mode for RUCKUS ICX 7850 and ICX 7550 devices only.

The no form of the command restores the default.

Examples

The following example configures client-to-client reflection on the BGP4 host device.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# client-to-client-reflection

The following example disables client-to-client reflection on the BGP4+ host device.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# no client-to-client-reflection

The following example re-enables client-to-client reflection for the BGP L2VPN EVPN address family if it has been disabled.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# local-as 656
device(config-bgp-router)# neighbor 1.1.1.35 remote-as 656
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family l2vpn evpn
device(config-bgp-l2vpn-evpn)# neighbor 1.1.1.35 activate
device(config-bgp-l2vpn-evpn)# neighbor 1.1.1.35 send-community both
device(config-bgp-l2vpn-evpn)# client-to-client-reflection
