BGP Commands

page 44-12

OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide

Configures a BGP cluster ID when there are multiple, redundant, route reflectors in a cluster. This 
command is not necessary for configurations containing only one route reflector.

ip bgp cluster-id ip_address

32-bit IP address that is the Cluster ID of the router acting as a route 
reflector.

OmniSwitch 6850, 6855, 9000, 9000E

• In a route-reflection configuration where there are multiple route-reflectors in a cluster, use this 

command to configure this cluster ID. Configuring multiple route-reflectors enhances redundancy and 
avoids a single point of failure. When there is only one reflector in a cluster, the router ID of the reflec-
tor is used as the cluster-ID. 

• The BGP protocol must be disabled (using the 

command) before using this command. 

• Using many redundant reflectors in a single cluster places demands on the memory required to store 

routes for all redundant reflectors’ peers.
