Usage Information
If you congure the set next-hop command in ROUTE-MAP mode, the conguration 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 reector. If
you use the all keyword, the next hop of both eBGP- and iBGP-learned routes are updated by the route reector.
