Hello all,

i have two IBGP routers and established peering with its loopback address.
Also i configured both router the next hop choice -force self option.
So, now the receveied routes will set the loopback address as next hop.
but i don't want to use loopback ip address as next hop. i want the next hop ip is a physical interface ip address of routers.
any idea?

thanks

"force-self" means ip address used by bgp peer, not any random address configured on the router.

Nexthops also can be changed with routing filters.

Turn off 'next hop choice - force self'.
