Re: BGP next-hop

When using iBGP, it is assumed that there will be an underlying IGP to
control/forward advetsisments. iBGP has AD of 200 and will typically lose
out ot other routing protocols by design. It was set up this way as a loop
prevention mechanisim. Like stated above, a route learned from outside the
Internetwork is assumed to be valid best. This is not the case when the
same route is learned internal to the AS.

So the above is default behavior. We can peer iBGP neighbors with the
'next-hop' self command or use a route-map attached to the neighborship
that changes next hop. It depends on what is trying to be accomplished.
