BGP next-hop-self

HI there,

I wanted to find out something related to the marking of the exam.

Example:

R1 and R2 are eBGP neighbors. R2 and R3 are iBGP neighbors.

Without looking whether or not R3 has IGP reachability to R1 I put on a
next-hop-self on R2 to R3.

Would this be marked wrong if there was IGP reachability?

Basically to make absolutely sure that one has reachability at all times
is it ok put a next-hop-self statement on neighborships like the one
above?

Regards

Sven
