 client-to-client reflection 
 
    
   
 To enable or restore route reflection from a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route reflector to clients, use the client-to-client reflection command. To disable client-to-client route reflection, use the no form of this command. 
 
    
   
client-to-client reflection 
 
    
   
no client-to-client reflection 
 
    
   
 Syntax Description 
 
    
   
 This command has no arguments or keywords. 
 
    
   
 Command Default 
 
    
   
 Client-to-client route reflection is enabled by default; when a route reflector is configured, the route reflector reflects routes from a client to other clients.

 Usage Guidelines 
 
    
   
 By default, the clients of a route reflector are not required to be fully meshed and the routes from a client are reflected to other clients. However, if the clients are fully meshed, route reflection is not required. In this case, use the no client-to-client reflection command to disable client-to-client reflection.

 This example shows how to configure a router as a route reflector: 
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config)# router bgp 50000 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
switch(config-router)# address-family ipv4 multicast
