Hi,

I have next-hop-self configured in IPv4 as follows:

set policy-options policy-statement ebgp-default-route term 1 from route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 exact
set policy-options policy-statement ebgp-default-route term 1 then next-hop self
set policy-options policy-statement ebgp-default-route term 1 then accept
set policy-options policy-statement ebgp-default-route term reject then reject

I am trying to get the equivalent in IPv6 but failing thus far.... anyone know how to configure next-hop-self for IPv6 please?

next-hop-self working is same for ipv6 also. Are you peering with ipv6 address or advertising ipv6 routes over ipv4 peering?

What is the error you are getting and please share ipv6 policy. For ipv6 default route should be ::/0

I'm not getting any errors. I just wanted to confirm the workings to ensure I got it correct.... so, it's basically the following (if it's the same)

set policy-options policy-statement ipv6-default-route term 1 from route-filter ::/0 exact
set policy-options policy-statement ipv6-default-route term 1 then next-hop self
set policy-options policy-statement ipv6-default-route term 1 then accept
set policy-options policy-statement ipv6-default-route term reject then reject

All the peering is IPv6..... I am already peered with the upstream ISPs and all IP Dual Stack is working great.... I just needed to ensure that the the routes were available across the 2 data centres because 1 of our upstream ISPs is not advertising the full IPv6 Routing tables (for example, google will not allow them to advertise their IPv6 DNS addressing).....

The policy should work. I tested in my lab. 

R1---ebgp----R2-----ibgp----R3

R1 is originating default route to R2 and it is advertising to R3. policy is applied on R2. Outputs with and without next-hop self policy on R2 is given below:
