next-hop-self (bgp-neighbor-config)

Enables next-hop calculation for this neighbor. This option is disabled by default. When enabled, this device (or devices using this profile) are configured as the next hop for the BGP speaking neighbor or peer group. This allows the BGP device to change the next hop information that is sent to iBGP peers. The next hop address is set to the IP address of the interface used to communicate with the eBGP neighbor.
