An issue came While practicing for Route-reflector with R1, R2, R3, R4 in AS 111, R5 in AS 555 and R6 in AS.
All the routes are being advertised to all the neighbor but the routes learned from RR is not installed as the best one.
I issued Next hop self command on R1 for all the BGP pairs.
But still R1 is not changing the next hop IP while advertising the attributes. Wanted to know if next-hop not supported while doing RR.
Below is the output from R3 and config of R1. Please help me out.
R3#sh ip bgp
BGP table version is 2, local router ID is 3.3.3.3
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
r RIB-failure, S Stale
