Usage Information
If you configure the set next-hop command in ROUTE-MAP mode, the
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.
