Configuring the local System or a Different System to be the Next Hop for BGP-Learned Routes

You can configure the local router or a different router as the next hop for BGP-learned routes.

To change how the NEXT_HOP attribute is used, enter the first command. To view the BGP configuration, use the show config command in CONFIGURATION ROUTER BGP mode or the show running-config bgp command in EXEC Privilege mode.

You can also use route maps to change this and other BGP attributes. For example, you can include the second command in a route map to specify the next hop address.

  • Disable next hop processing and configure the router (route reflector) as the next hop for a BGP neighbor.
    CONFIG-ROUTER-BGP mode
    neighbor {ip-address | ipv6-address | peer-group-name} next-hop-self [all]

    If you do not use the all keyword, the next hop of only eBGP-learned routes is updated by the route reflector. If you use the all keyword, the next hop of both eBGP- and iBGP-learned routes are updated by the route reflector.

  • Sets the next hop address.
    CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode
    set next-hop ip-address
    If the set next-hop command is applied on the out-bound interface using a route map, it takes precedence over the neighbor next-hop-self command.
