Layer 3 Routing Commands
1284
• ipv6-address [ interface interface-id ] – The neighbor’s IPv6 address. If the
neighbor’s IPv6 address is a link local address, the local interface must also
be specified.
Default Configuration
This is not enabled by default.
Command Mode
BGP Router Configuration mode
User Guidelines
When the next hop attribute in routes from external peers is retained,
internal peers must have a route to the external peer’s IP address. This is
commonly done by configuring the IGP on the border router to advertise the
external (or “DMZ”) subnet. The next-hop-self option eliminates the need to
advertise the external subnet in the IGP. The neighbor next-hop-self
command sets the next hop for all routes sent to a neighbor. The VLAN
interface must also be specified if a link-local address is specified.
Command History
Introduced in version 6.2.0.1 firmware.
Example
console(config-router)#neighbor FE80::0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329 interface vlan 10
next-hop-self
neighbor next-hop-self (IPv6 Address Family
Configuration)
In IPv6 address family configuration mode, the neighbor next-hop-self
command configures BGP to use a local address as the IPv6 next hop when
advertising IPv6 routes to a specific peer.
Syntax
neighbor { ip-address | ipv6-address [ interface interface-id ]} next-hop-self
