Allowing the establishment of an indirect EBGP connection
Direct links must be available between EBGP peers. If not, you can use the peer ebgp-max-hop command to establish a multi-hop TCP connection in between. However, do not use this command for direct EBGP connections with loopback interfaces.
To allow the establishment of a non-direct EBGP connection:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP view. | bgp as-number | N/A |
3. Enter IPv6 address family view. | ipv6-family | N/A |
4. Allow the establishment of EBGP connection to an indirectly connected peer or peer group. | peer { ipv6-group-name | ipv6-address } ebgp-max-hop [ hop-count ] | Not configured by default. |
