Class CIM_BGPCluster
extends CIM_CollectionOfMSEs

The BGP speakers in an AS are required to be fully meshed. This can lead to a huge number of TCP connections per router. One way to reduce the peering requirements is to use a route reflector. This is based on specifying one or more routers to act as focal points for IBGP sessions. The route reflector as a whole is called a cluster. It is logically divided into three types of routers: reflectors, clients of the route reflector(s), and non-clients of the route reflector. There can be more than one route reflector in a cluster, and there can be more than one cluster in an AS.

DescriptionstringIf a cluster has more than one route reflector, all of the route reflectors in the cluster need to be configured with a 4-byte cluster ID. This allows route reflectors to recognize updates from other route reflectors in the same cluster.
