BGP Route Reflector

Hello Narad

For more information about using multiple cluster IDs, take a look at this post:

BGP Route Reflector

Hello Rafael The following two links direct you to Cisco documentation that includes scenarios of multiple cluster IDs for BGP route reflectors that you might find helpful. I hope this has been helpful! Laz

For multiple RRs, take a look at this post:

EIGRP OTP (Over The Top)

Hello Valerio Glad to hear I have been of help!! Now concerning your questions in your post, I’m not clear on your topology, so I may not be able to answer all your questions. Concerning the RR, it is possible to configure a backup route reflector so that if one goes down, the other will be able to take over. You can do this by simply creating a second RR, and have BGP clients become neighbors with both RRs. Each one will have a different cluster-ID and will form relationships with its clie…

Does RR effects the data plane forwarding ??

RRs are used to share BGP routing information more efficiently than having a full mesh topology. Whether you use an RR or not should not affect the ultamate routing patterns of the data plane.

I hope this has been helpful!
