Usage Information
If you configure the set ipv6 next-hop command in ROUTE-MAP mode, its configuration takes precedence
over the neighbor next-hop-self command.
If you do not use the all keyword, the next hop of only eBGP-learned routes is updated by the route reflector. If
you use the all keyword, the next hop of both eBGP- and iBGP-learned routes are updated by the route
reflector.
