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

Figure 56

, 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.
