Configuring the NEXT_HOP attribute
By default, a BGP router does not set itself as the next hop for routes advertised to an IBGP peer or peer
group. In some cases, however, you must configure the advertising router as the next hop to make sure
the BGP peer can find the correct next hop.
For example, as shown in Figure 54, R
outer A and Router B establish an EBGP neighbor relationship, and
Router B and Router C establish an IBGP neighbor relationship. If Router C has no route destined for IP
address 1.1.1.1/24, you must configure Router B to set itself 3.1.1.1/24 as the next hop for the network
2.1.1.1 / 24 a d ve r t i s e d t o R o u t e r C .
Figure 54 NEXT_HOP attribute configuration
If a BGP router has two peers on a broadcast network, it does not set itself as the next hop for routes sent
to an EBGP peer by default. As shown in Figure 55, R
outer A and Router B establish an EBGP neighbor
relationship, and Router B and Router C establish an IBGP neighbor relationship. They are on the same
b r o a d c a s t n e t w o r k 1.1.1.0 / 24 . W h e n R o u t e r B s e n d s E B G P routes to Router A, it does not set itself as the
