! ============================================================================
! role-route-reflector.cfg  --  RR-specific overlay for CORE routers
! ============================================================================
! Apply ONLY on routers that act as iBGP route reflectors for their AS.
! Skip on the client routers -- there this overlay is a no-op at best and
! creates inadvertent reflection at worst.
!
! Complements 01-bmp-basic.cfg (defines the BMP-MONITORED neighbor-group)
! and 02-bgp-ls.cfg (which activates the LS AF toward peers). The
! RR-specific bit here is `route-reflector-client` under the AFs for
! every client neighbor.
!
! Two conventions worth preserving:
!   - Put every RR client into a `RR-CLIENT` neighbor-group so the
!     reflector attribute is set once at group scope.
!   - Combine with BMP-MONITORED via `use neighbor-group` at the neighbor
!     itself -- IOS-XR only allows one `use neighbor-group` per neighbor,
!     so nest common bits by inheritance if you need multiple groups.

 ! Cluster-id -- set to the RR's loopback so RR<->RR pairs recognize each
 ! other's reflected routes and don't loop. Both RRs in a pair share the
 ! same cluster-id if you want them to act as a single logical RR.

   ! *** NEXT-HOP-SELF CAVEAT *********************************************
   ! next-hop-self here ONLY rewrites the next-hop of eBGP-learned and
   ! locally-originated routes advertised to clients. That is exactly what
   ! this lab wants: the full table enters at the cores via eBGP (GoBGP/
   ! ExaBGP) and clients must resolve those routes via the RR's loopback.
   !
   ! IOS-XR will NOT rewrite the next-hop of iBGP-REFLECTED routes unless
   ! you ALSO configure:
   !     router bgp <LOCAL_ASN>
   !      ibgp policy out enforce-modifications
   ! On a pure route reflector with no eBGP feed, this line is a silent
   ! no-op and clients must resolve next-hops via the IGP instead. Do not
   ! copy it into such a design expecting reflected-route NH rewrite.
