# neighbor next-hop-unchanged

#### Syntax

[ no | default ] neighbor { ipAddress | ipv6Address | peerGroupName }
next-hop-unchanged

#### Release Information

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

#### Description

Configures BGP to not modify the next hop sent to the BGP peer. Outbound route maps take precedence over this command, enabling prefixes that match the route map to be modified, regardless of this command. The no version reenables BGP to modify the next hop. 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.

#### Mode

Address Family Configuration
