# neighbor ebgp-multihop

#### Syntax

[ no | default ] neighbor { ipAddress | ipv6Address | peerGroupName } ebgp-multihop
[ ttl ]

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.
ipv6Address variable added in JunosE Release 8.0.0.

#### Description

Allows BGP to accept route updates from external peers residing on networks that are not directly connected. The no version halts accepting such routers. The default version removes the explicit configuration from the peer or peer group and reestablishes inheritance of the feature configuration.

#### Options

- ipAddress—IP address of BGP neighbor
- ipv6Address—IPv6 address of BGP 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, unless it is overridden for a specific peer.
- ttl—Maximum number of hops to the peer, in the range 1–255; default value is 255

#### Mode

Address Family Configuration, Router Configuration
