set protocols bgp neighbor next-hop-self

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.

Command Syntax

set protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] {neighbor <ip>| peer-group <peer-group> |interface <interface>} {ipv4-unicast|ipv4-labeled-unicast|ipv6-unicast|ipv6-labeled-unicast} next-hop-self [force]

delete protocols bgp [vrf <vrf-name>] {neighbor <ip>| peer-group <peer-group> |interface <interface>} {ipv4-unicast|ipv4-labeled-unicast|ipv6-unicast|ipv6-labeled-unicast} next-hop-self [force]
