Configures the IPv6 next hop addresses for IPv6 prefixes advertised between BGP peers. These BGP
peers are identified by their IPv6 addresses.
ipv6 bgp neighbor ipv6_address [ipv6-nexthop ipv6_address]
Syntax Definitions
ipv6_address
Defaults
By default, the IPv6 next hop address is set to all zeros.

Usage Guidelines
•
To reset the IPv6 next hop value, enter an all-zero address.
•
For internal BGP (IBGP) peers, the IPv6 next hop is used only if the peer next-hop-self option is
configured.
•
For external BGP (EBGP) peers, the IPv6 next hop is used for all the advertised IPv6 routes.
•
For BGP peers configured with their link-local addresses, the configured IPv6 next hop is used while
advertising IPv6 prefixes.
