14.1 route-reflector & next-hop-self When I initially configured R2 as route reflector & next-hop-self like how DSG describes, the next-hop-self part wasn't working. router bgp 1 ... address-family ipv4 neighbor IBGP next-hop-self
When R5 received the reflected routes from R1, they all had R1's loopback as next hop instead of R2's. I had to use a route-map to manually set the next hop as the "peer address" to make it work: route-map NEXT-HOP permit 10 set ip next-hop peer-address router bgp 1 ... address-family ipv4 neighbor IBGP route-reflector-client neighbor IBGP route-map NEXT-HOP out A cisco.com document says: "Do not use the neighbor next-hop-self command to modify the next hop attribute for a route reflector when this feature is enabled for a route reflector client." http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2s/feature/guide/fs_bgpnh.html#wp1027202 Could someone please confirm if the solution to use next-hop-self on the route-reflector was an error on the DSG?
