BGP route reflector (RR) configuration of two RR servers

 

We have already learned what route reflector is and why we use route reflector. In this section we will see the configuration of two RR servers and will learn about deep RR behavior.

 

A route reflector is a BGP router that is allowed to ignore the IBGP loop avoidance rule, such as is allowed to advertise updates received from an IBGP peer to another IBGP peer under specific conditions. 

  • If a router receives an IBGP route with the originate-id attribute set to its own router-ID, the route is discarded.
  • If a route reflector (RR) receives a route with a cluster-list attribute containing its cluster-ID, the route is discarded.

 

In our case we have two RR servers and it will establish neighbor with other servers and clients.

GOAL:

  • Configure the topology as er the diagram and assign the IP address.
  • Configure EIGRP to provide the reachability between BGP speakers (peer)
  • configure router 2 - 4 RR server and router 1 - 3 client.
