BGP Route Reflector

[rsharma1818]

Hello All,

I have a router running BGP in an SP network. It is neither a  route reflector nor a client.

Can I convert the router into a route reflector without deleting the entire BGP instance on the router and recreating it in ASR router?

Thanks in advance.

Hello rsharma,

You need to define all your neighbors as "route-reflector-client" in your Route Reflector ASR.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr9000/software/asr9k-r6-2/routing/configuration/guide/b-routing-cg-asr9000-62x/b-routing-cg-asr9000-62x_chapter_010.html#task_1213209

The next step is to change the iBGP full mesh. All the other routers should have bgp adjacency only with the route reflector.
