<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I need your kind assistance. We are running bird router in
container and peering with one of the edge routers using iBGP. This for a looking glass.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the routes are becoming unreachable due to next hops
since the bird router is not feed with all the next hops in the network. How
can get the issue resolved ? I want to the change the next hop on the bird
router(I don’t want the peering router to be next-hop-self.). Sofar, I am
unsuccessful. By hashing out disable under the protocol, we see the interfaces in the routing table.</p><p></p>
