The set protocols bgp neighbor next-hop-self command configures the router as the next hop for a BGP-speaking neighbor or peer group, and enables BGP to send itself as the next hop for advertised routes.
The delete protocols bgp neighbor next-hop-self command resets the peer nexthop-self status to default. The next hop will be generated based on the IP.
