Enable BGP4+ Recursive Next-hop Lookups

With recursive next-hop lookups, a device can find the IGP route to the next-hop gateway for a BGP4+ route.

1. Access global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal

2. Access BGP configuration mode.
   

   device(config)# router bgp

3. Access IPv6 address family configuration mode.
   

   device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast

4. Enable recursive next-hop lookups.
   

   device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# next-hop-recursion

Example

The following example summarizes the commands in this procedure.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv6u)# next-hop-recursion
