Configuring the next hop attribute

You can use the peer next-hop-local command to specify the local router as the next hop of routes sent to
a MBGP iBGP peer or peer group. If load balancing is configured, the router specifies itself as the next
hop of route advertisements to the multicast iBGP peer or peer group regardless of whether the peer
next-hop-local command is configured.
In a "third party next hop" network, that is, when the local router has two multicast eBGP peers in a
broadcast network, the router does not specify itself as the next hop of routing information sent to the
eBGP peers unless the peer next-hop-local command is configured.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter BGP view.
3. Enter IPv4 MBGP address family
view.
4. Specify the router as the next
hop of routes sent to a
peer/peer group.
Use the command...
bgp as-number
ipv4-family multicast
a. Configure the
default MED
default med med-value
value.
b. Enable the
comparison of
the MED of
compare-different-as-med
routes from
different Ass.
c. Enable the
comparison of
the MED of
bestroute compare-med
routes from
each AS.
d. Enable the
comparison of
the MED of
bestroute med-confederation
routes from
confederation
peers.
Use the command...
system-view
bgp as-number

By default, the next hop of
routes sent to a MBGP
eBGP peer/peer group is
the advertising router, but
that of routes sent to a
MBGP iBGP peer/peer
group is not.
