Description

Configure an EBGP multihop session.

For confederation peerings, you do not need to configure multihop sessions explicitly; multihop behavior is implied.

Default

If you omit this statement, all EBGP peers are assumed to be directly connected (that is, you are establishing a nonmultihop, or "regular," BGP session), and the default time-to-live (TTL) value is 1.

Options

ttl-value—Configure the maximum TTL value for the TTL in the IP header of BGP packets.
    Range: 1 through 255
    Default: 64 (for multihop EBGP sessions, confederations, and internal BGP sessions)

Usage Guidelines

See Configure an EBGP Multihop Session.
