RE: Query use of "no ipv6 next-hop-self eigrp as-number "

Hi Vibe,

First off you should know that when advertising a route an EIGRP router by
default puts its own IP address in the next-hop field. So it simply means "hey
my downstream! if you'd like to get to this destination, you've got to send it
to me first (or pass through me)". If you have a scenario to eliminate the
necessity of the word "THROUGH" then you can change the default using its "no"
form. Hence, EIGRP will use the received next-hop address when advertising
routes.

1- Using the default setting you've received x.y.z.t from R6. Does it
necessarily mean that's the best (e.g. cost) path to get to x.y.z.t?

2- Would you like to have a "worker bee" router? it injects some routes into
your network but its forwarding path back to those routes is not a desirable
path. He is just pumping routes into your network...

HTH,
