16.3.3 EBGP Multihop Configuration Example
EBGP Multihop refers to a configuration where external BGP neighbors are not connected to the same subnet. Such
neighbors are logically, but not physically connected. For example, BGP can be run between external neighbors across
non-BGP routers. Some additional configuration is required to indicate that the external peers are not physically
attached.
This sample configuration shows External BGP peers, R1 and R4, which are not connected to the same subnet.
