BGP next hop self-support for VPNv4 and VPNv6 route reflectors New

FortiGate now supports setting the BGP next hop attribute for VPNv4 and VPNv6 routes on route reflectors.

The next-hop-self-rr-vpnv4 and next-hop-self-rr-vpnv6 commands allow route reflectors to set the NEXT_HOP attribute to the local interface address when advertising VPNv4 or VPNv6 routes. This enhancement extends the existing next-hop-self-rr behavior that previously applied only to IPv4 and IPv6 unicast routes.

The feature can be configured at both the BGP neighbor and neighbor group levels, providing flexibility for large-scale MPLS VPN and route reflector deployments.

config router bgp
    config neighbor
        edit <ip>
            set next-hop-self-rr-vpnv4 {enable | disable}
            set next-hop-self-rr-vpnv6 {enable | disable}
        next
    end
    config neighbor-group
        edit <name>
            set next-hop-self-rr-vpnv4 {enable | disable}
            set next-hop-self-rr-vpnv6 {enable | disable}
        next
    end
end
