Release Information

Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Description

Configure an EBGP multihop session.

External confederation peering is a special case that allows unconnected third-party next hops. You do not need to configure multihop sessions explicitly in this particular case; multihop behavior is implied.

If you have confederation external BGP peer-to-loopback addresses, you still need the multihop configuration.

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

no-nexthop-change—Specify not to change the BGP next-hop value; for route advertisements, specify the no-nexthop-self option.

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 IBGP sessions)

Required Privilege Level

routing—To view this statement in the configuration.

routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
