neighbor next-hop-self

Description: 

Forces the BGP speaker to report itself as the next hop for an advertised route it advertised to a neighbor. Typically you use this command to prevent third-party next hops from being used on NBMA media such as Frame Relay. The no version disables the feature. The default version removes the explicit configuration from the peer or peer group and reestablishes inheritance of the feature configuration.

Syntax: 

[ no | default ] neighbor { ipAddress | peerGroupName } next-hop-self

• ipAddress—IP address of BGP-speaking neighbor
• peerGroupName—Name of a BGP peer group. If you specify a BGP peer group by using the peerGroupName argument, all the members of the peer group inherit the characteristic configured with this command. You cannot override the characteristic for a specific member of the peer group.

Mode(s): 

Address Family Configuration, Router Configuration
