reflector cluster-id (BGP-IPv4 multicast address family view)

Function

The reflector cluster-id command sets a cluster ID for an RR.

The undo reflector cluster-id command restores the default setting.

By default, each RR uses its Router ID as the cluster ID.

Format

reflector cluster-id { cluster-id-value | cluster-id-ipv4 }

undo reflector cluster-id

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
cluster-id-value

Specifies a cluster ID in the format of a decimal value.

The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 4294967295.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Normally, a cluster has only one RR. The router ID of an RR identifies the cluster to which the RR belongs.

Configuring multiple RRs in a cluster can enhance the stability of the network. If a cluster has more than one RR, the reflector cluster-id command needs to be used to set the same cluster ID for the RRs. This avoids routing loops.

Example

# Configure the cluster ID to 50 for the device, which is an RR in a cluster.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] bgp 100
[*HUAWEI-bgp] ipv4-family multicast
[*HUAWEI-bgp-af-multicast] reflector cluster-id 50
