neighbor next-hop-peer

This command configures BGP to always set the BGP next hop to the EBGP peer's address, overriding third-party next hops.

Syntax

neighbor {ip-address | groupID} next-hop-peer
no neighbor {ip-address | groupID} next-hop-peer

Parameters

ip-address Specifies a BGP peer as a valid IPv4 address in dotted-quad format or as a valid IPv6 address in colon-separated format.
groupID Specifies a BGP peer group.

Defaults

None.

Mode

BGP Router Configuration.

Usage

The next hop of routes received from the EBGP peer is set to the peer‘s address.

Next-hop-peer behavior is disabled by default.

Every prefix that is advertised in BGP contains next hop information. The no neighbor next-hop-peer command resets this neighbor‘s next hop selection to the default next hop behavior of leaving the next hop information for this prefix unchanged.

Example

The following example configures neighbor 200.51.1.1 to set the BGP next hop to the EBGP peer's address:

System(su-config)->router bgp 65151
System(su-config-bgp)->bgp router-id 159.1.1.9
System(su-config-bgp)->neighbor 200.51.1.1 next-hop-peer
System(su-config-bgp)->
