Use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode and show ip
as-path-access-list command in EXEC Privilege mode to view which commands are configured.
Include this filter permit .* in your AS-PATH ACL to forward all routes not meeting the AS-PATH ACL
criteria.
Configure BGP route reflectors
CONFIG-ROUTER-
BGP
BGP route reflectors are intended for Autonomous Systems with a large mesh and they reduce the amount
of BGP control traffic. With route reflection configured properly, IBGP routers are not fully meshed within
a cluster but all receive routing information.
Configure clusters of routers where one router is a concentration router and others are clients who receive
their updates from the concentration router.
Use the following commands in the CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode to configure a route
reflector.

Filter routes based on the criteria in the
configured route map. Configure the
following parameters:
• ip-address or peer-group-name: enter
the neighbor’s IP address or the peer
group’s name.
• as-path-name: enter the name of a
configured AS-PATH ACL.
• in: apply the AS-PATH ACL map to
inbound routes.
• out: apply the AS-PATH ACL to
outbound routes.
Assign an ID to a router reflector cluster.
You can have multiple clusters in an AS.
Configure the local router as a route reflector and
the neighbor or peer group identified is the route
reflector client.
To view a route reflector configuration, use the show config command in the CONFIGURATION
ROUTER BGP mode or show running-config bgp in EXEC Privilege mode.
When you enable a route reflector, FTOS automatically enables route reflection to all clients. To disable
route reflection between all clients in this reflector, use the no bgp client-to-client reflection command
in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode. All clients should be fully meshed before you disable route
reflection.
