#1 hop path update#
The NEXT_HOP is a well-known mandatory attribute that defines the IP address of the router that SHOULD be used as the next hop to the destinations listed in the UPDATE message.īasically, Next-Hop forces the router to do a recursive lookup in order to determine which egress interface should be used to send the packets out. RFC 4271 defined Next-Hop attribute as follows: What does it do? Should I use it on my network? What will happen if I forget to configure it? Today we’ll try to answer these questions. One of the common questions asked by people who begin their BGP journey is related to BGP ‘Next-Hop Self’ configuration option.
