The neighbor is refering to the IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) of our ISP. I have found the following in earlier list messages: ========================================================= policy-statement "Next_Hop_Self" { term 1 { from { protocol: "bgp" } then { nexthop4: 1.1.1.1 } } } Then you'd apply this policy to protocols BGP as follows: set protocols bgp export export_connected,Next_Hop_Self ========================================================== I am just unclear as to what 1.1.1.1 is, my router or the ISPs router. Or does anyone else have a better idea on how to translate the two cisco neighbor commands at the top to work on Vyatta v3?
