Configuring the NEXT_HOP attribute
By default, a BGP router does not set itself as the next hop for routes advertised to an IBGP peer or peer
group. In some cases, however, you must configure the advertising router as the next hop to make sure
the BGP peer can find the correct next hop.
For example, as shown in

, Router A and Router B establish an EBGP neighbor relationship, and
Router B and Router C establish an IBGP neighbor relationship. If Router C has no route destined for IP
address 1.1.1.1/24, you must configure Router B to set itself 3.1.1.1/24 as the next hop for the network
2.1.1.1/24 advertised to Router C.
