Setting the Next_Hop Attribute

Procedure

• Configure a device to change the next-hop address when it advertises a route to an IBGP peer.

  Perform the following steps on the IBGP router:

  1. Run system-view

     The system view is displayed.

  2. Run bgp as-number

     The BGP view is displayed.

  3. Run ipv4-family multicast

     The BGP-IPv4 multicast address family view is displayed.

  4. Run peer { peer-address | group-name } next-hop-local

     The local address is configured as the next-hop address for route advertisement.

     To ensure that an IBGP peer can find the correct next hop, configure the local device to change the next-hop address of a route to be its own address when the local device advertises the route to its IBGP peer.

     

     If MBGP load balancing is configured, the local router changes the next-hop address to be its own address when advertising routes to IBGP peer groups, regardless of whether the peer { group-name | peer-address } next-hop-local command is configured.

  5. Run commit

     The configuration is committed.
