BGP Route Reflectors

ccie r/s ccnp r/s Aug 15, 2017

A BGP-speaking router, by default, will not advertise an Internal BGP (iBGP) route to an iBGP neighbor. One solution for this issue is to create a full mesh of neighborships within an Autonomous System (AS). However, that approach doesn’t scale well.

A more scalable solution is to use a BGP Route Reflector. That’s the focus of this new video I created for you. You’ll see the issue BGP has with iBGP-learned routes and how to overcome that issue with a BGP Route Reflector configuration.

Enjoy the video!
