The neighbor next-hop-self command sets the specified peer‘s nexthop to the router's own address. When routes are learned using EBGP and advertised to an IBGP neighbor, this command sets the next hop information to the IP address of the interface used to communicate with the IBGP neighbor.
The following example specifies that the neighbor will use the router‘s own address as the next hop.
System(su-config)->router bgp 65151 System(su-config-bgp)->bgp router-id 159.1.1.9 System(su-config-bgp)->neighbor 1.2.3.4 remote-as 5 System(su-config-bgp)->neighbor 1.2.3.4 next-hop-self
