You need this command when you are talking to a neighbor not connected to
the same IP segment.  For instance, if the serial interfaces are numbered
and you want to talk loopback interface to loopback interface, you need the
multihop because the serial interface addresses are between the loopback
addresses.

Did this help to increase your confusion?  :-)

Hi,

When should one use the command "neighbor x.x.x.x ebgp-multihop"?

Some cisco document on the web just says as follows:
 - "Use the ebgp-multihop command only when the ip address you are peering
to
    on your eBGP peer is not directly connected"

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

BS Kang.
