Route Reflectors

337

If you have more than one route reflector, do not forget to peer them with one

another.

Both RouterB and RouterC merely need to become peers with the con-

centration router and do not require neighbor statements identifying each
other. To verify the configuration, we would use the show ip bgp neighbor
command. Let's look at an example of the output:

RouterA# show ip bgp neighbor
