set ipv6 next-hop (BGP)

To set the IPv6 next hop of a route, use the set ipv6 next-hop command in Route Map Configuration mode. When used in a route map applied to UPDATE messages received from a neighbor, the command sets the next hop address for matching IPv6 routes received from the neighbor.

When used in a route map applied to UPDATE messages sent to a neighbor, the command sets the next hop address for matching IPv6 routes sent to the neighbor. If the address is a link local address, the address is assumed to be on the interface where the UPDATE is sent or received. If the command specifies a global IPv6 address, the address is not required to be on a local subnet.
