Theroute reflector forwards routing information between clients. If clients are fullymeshed, you can disable route reflection between clients to reduce routing costs.z In general, a cluster has only one route reflector, and the router ID is used to identifythe cluster. You can configure multiple route reflectors to improve network stability.In this case, you need to specify the same cluster ID for these route reflectors toavoid routing loops.5.7.5 Configuring a BGP ConfederationFollow these steps to configure a BGP confederation:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enter BGP view bgp as-number —Configure aconfederationIDconfederation idas-numberConfigure aBGPconfederationSpecifysub-ASscontained intheconfederationconfederationpeer-asas-number-listRequiredNot configured by defaultEnable compatibility withrouters not compliant with RFC3065 in the confederationconfederationnonstandardOptionalNot enabled by default
