  • 1.  multihop in ebgp

    Hi all,

    The following configuration on the MX device:

    Set protocols bgp group XXX type external
    Set protocols bgp group XXX multihop ttl 5
    Set protocols bgp group XXX local-add 10.10.10.10
    Set protocols bgp group XXX import WETLR_IN
    Set protocols bgp group XXX family inet unicast
    Set protocols bgp group XXX export WETLR_OUT
    Set protocols bgp group XXX peer-as XXX
    Set protocols bgp group XXX neighbor 192.168.20.40

    What is the multihop  in this conf? Why number of 5 is assigned to ttl ? What is the defaul value for the ttl in ebgp? what purpose can ttl be used? 

    thx

    A

    eBGP assumes that the two router neighbors are directly connected.  The multihop parameter allows you to have a neighbor that is NOT directly connected but is reached only through other routers.  The ttl limits how far apart the two neighbors can be.
