Disabling eBGP Single-Hop Checking

You can configure eBGP to disable checking whether a single-hop eBGP peer is directly connected to
the local router. Use this option for configuring a single-hop loopback eBGP session between directly
connected switches.
To disable checking whether or not a single-hop eBGP peer is directly connected, use the following
command in neighbor configuration mode:
Command
disable-connected-check
Example:
switch(config-router-neighbor)#
disable-connected-check

Configuring eBGP Multihop

You can configure the eBGP time-to-live (TTL) value to support eBGP multihop. In some situations, an
eBGP peer is not directly connected to another eBGP peer and requires multiple hops to reach the remote
eBGP peer. You can configure the eBGP TTL value for a neighbor session to allow these multihop
sessions.
To configure eBGP multihop, use the following command in neighbor configuration mode:
Command
ebgp-multihop ttl-value
Example:
switch(config-router-neighbor)#
ebgp-multihop 5

Purpose
Disables capabilities negotiation. You must
manually reset the BGP sessions after configuring
this command.
Purpose
Disables checking whether or not a single-hop
eBGP peer is directly connected. You must
manually reset the BGP sessions after using this
command.
Purpose
Configures the eBGP TTL value for eBGP
multihop. The range is from 2 to 255. You must
manually reset the BGP sessions after using this
command.
