Hello everyone,

Does the next-hop-self command work on Route-Reflector routers pointing
towards Route-Reflector-Clients. I have the following scenerio which I am
unsuccessful with:

R1 --- R2 --- R3 ---- R4

R1 and R2 running EBGP
R2, R3, and R4 running IBGP

R2 and R4 are the clients of R3 which is a route reflector. I have two
next-hop-self commands in R3 for each of R2 and R4.

Routes in R4 which are originated by R2 and "reflected" by R3 still shows R2
as the next hop address. Similarly, routes in R2 which are originated by R4
show R4 as the next hop address. My goal is to show R3 as the next hop for
routes going between R2 and R4.

I do have a config if anyone is interest..I have already rebooted,
reconfigured and used Route-map to set IP next hop..Nothing worked...

Any ideas...
