Enables overriding the BGP specification behavior with respect to the next-hop of routes advertised to EBGP peers.
| bgp | Specifies BGP. |
| neighbor | Specifies BGP neighbor. |
| remoteaddr | Specifies BGP neighbor IP address. |
| all | Specifies all BGP neighbors. |
| address-family | Specifies address family. |
| l2vpn-evpn | Specifies L2VPN EVPN address-family type. |
| next-hop-unchanged | Enables preserving the BGP next-hop when routes are advertised to EBGP peers (default is disabled). |
Default is that next-hop-unchanged is disabled.
This command enables overriding the specification behavior with respect to the next-hop of routes advertised to EBGP peers. Specifically, it maintains the BGP next-hop for routes advertised to EBGP peers instead of replacing the next-hop with either the outgoing interface IP address or the local loopback address.
When enabling the address family l2vpn-evpn in an EBGP configuration, the option next-hop-unchanged must also be enabled.
The following example enables next-hop unchanged for BGP neighbor at 192.168.66.2:
# enable bgp neighbor 192.168.66.2 l2vpn-evpn next-hop-unchanged
