route-reflector-client inheritance-disable

[Muhammad Thanveer]

Hi Folks,

I found the command  route-reflector-client inheritance-disable here, why do we use it.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/xr12000/software/xr12k_r3.9/routing/command/reference/b_rr39xr12kbook_chapter_01.html#wp1681856112

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 140

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group group1 address-family ipv4 unicast

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# route-reflector-client

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)#exit

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.20.1.1

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 140

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family ipv4 unicast

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# use af-group group1

RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# route-reflector-client inheritance-disable

I Will rate all helpful posts Thanks in advance

Hello Muhammad,

As document says:

The following example disables the route-reflector  client for neighbor 172.20.1.1, preventing this feature from being  automatically inherited from address family group group1:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router bgp 140
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# af-group group1 address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)# route-reflector-client
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-afgrp)#exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp)# neighbor 172.20.1.1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# remote-as 140
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr)# address-family ipv4 unicast
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# use af-group group1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# route-reflector-client inheritance-disable

Neighbor 172.20.1.1 si configured as member of group1. Members of group1 are configured as route-reflector-clients. But you want to disable neighbor 172.20.1.1 to become route-reflector-client so you need to configure route-reflector-client inheritance-disable.
