Configuring BGP Route Reflection in Gaia Clish

You can configure route reflection as an alternative to BGP confederations.

Route reflection supports both internal and external BGP routing groups.

Syntax

set bgp

internal peer <IP Address> peer-type

none

no-client-reflector

reflector-client

cluster-id {<IP Address> | off}

default-med {<0-65535> | off}

default-route-gateway {<IP Address> | off}

Parameters

Parameter

Description

internal peer <IP Address>
peer-type none

The peer router <IP Address> is not a reflector client of the local router. This is the default.

internal peer <IP Address>
peer-type no-client-reflector

An advanced option.

internal peer <IP Address>
peer-type reflector-client

The peer router <IP Address> is a reflector client of the local router.

cluster-id <IP Address>

The cluster ID default is that of the router id.

Override the default if the cluster has more than one route reflector

cluster-id off

Disable the cluster ID.

default-med <0-65535>

The Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) metric used to advertise routes through BGP.

default-med off

Disable the specified MED metric.

default-route-gateway <IP Address>

Installs the BGP default route in the kernel and then sends that route to BGP peers.

This route has a higher rank than any configured default static route for this router.

Notes:

If you do not want a BGP peer considered for generating the default route, use this command (see Configuring BGP Remote Peers in Gaia Clish):

set bgp external remote-as <Number of Autonomous System> peer <IP Address> suppress-default-originate on
If you want to originate a default route via BGP without installing it in the kernel, you can use NAT Pools to do so (seeNAT Pools). You can configure a default static route (0.0.0.0/0) using the NAT Pool feature and advertise the route via BGP to your desired peers using one of these methods:
- Route Maps
  
  See:
  - Configuring Route Maps in Gaia Clish
- Route Redistribution
  
  See:
  - Configuring Route Redistribution in Gaia Portal
  - Configuring IPv4 Route Redistribution in Gaia Clish

default-route-gateway off

Disables the configured default BGP route.
