[Switch C-bgp] peer 172.68.10.1 group confed1001
[Switch C-bgp] peer 172.68.10.2 group confed1002
[Switch C-bgp] group ebgp200 external
[Switch C-bgp] peer 156.10.1.2 group ebgp200 as-number 200
[Switch C-bgp] group ibgp1003 internal
[Switch C-bgp] peer 172.68.1.2 group ibgp1003
21.4.2 Configuring BGP Route Reflector
I. Network requirements

Switch B receives an update packet passing EBGP and transmits it to Switch C. Switch

C is a reflector with two clients: Switch B and Switch D. When Switch C receives a route

update from Switch B, it will transmit such information to Switch D. It is required to

establish an IBGP connection between Switch B and Switch D, because Switch C

reflects information to Switch D.

1) Configure Switch A:

[Switch A] interface vlan-interface 2
[Switch A-Vlan-interface2] ip address 192.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
[Switch A-Vlan-interface2] interface Vlan-interface 100
