Hi Dillon,

Well, if the bgp route or update is advertised to the internal neighbor
(same AS) and the advertised route is in the same AS, the next-hop would be
the IP address of the router that originated it, but if the advertised route
is from a different AS the next-hop attribute is from the external peer
which the route was learned.

Also with confederations is the same, for example if you put between Rb and
Rc a EBGP confederation link and as global AS u leave AS 2 and you also
leave the same config on Ra, in Ra you still ara going to have the same
results from the network 172.16.0.0 with destination 1.1.1.3 without using
the next-hop-self command.

So it seems to me the same, but if I am wrong or didn't explain it good I am
sure somebody here will correct me :), I tried this on my lab.

I hope it helps you

Artir

Hi, Artir:
Thanks for your replay.
I just did a lookup on the book. So, in the case, for preventing the
next-hop ip from unreachable, I must choose a iBGP set itself address as
next-hop, right?
Then how about the subas under confederation?
TIA
