You have the routers on different AS. If you leave it without changing the
next-hop (just basic config), at Ra as next-hop for 172.16.0.0 you are going
to have 1.1.1.3, so in this case you need to put "neighbor next-hop-self".

If you have Doyle's volume II check there for the next_hop attribute to
understand why. Or check RFC 1771.

Hi, all:

A case says the next hop to 172.16.0.0 in Ra should be the 1.1.1.2 in the
topology:

Ra(spoke)------FR--------Rb(hub)-------FR-------Rc(spoke)
1.1.1.1-----------------1.1.1.2-----------------1.1.1.3---172.16.0.0
As1----------------------As2--------------------As2

It says the next-hop attribute has been carried by Rb to Ra, to prevent
1.1.1.3(next-hop) being seen, the command "neighbor 1.1.1.1 next-hop-self"
must be under "router bgp 2" on Rb. My thought is the 3 routers are in the
same subnet, so its unnecessary to change the default next-hop. Any advice?

TIA
dillon
