Re: import bgp ipv6 routes issue

22 Jul 2020

      Hello,
Yes it is iBGP, by default next hop for ipv6 route is set to link-local ipv6 address, in my setup I need global ipv6 address as next-hop. My config works but not for every peer under the same bgp template, I have to reload ipv6 bgp protocol to fix it.

    Hi,

    Looks like you have the same AS on your peers. So they have iBGP
    sessions. And those keep the next hop attribute by default.
