allow these multihop sessions.
This command requires the LAN Enterprise Services license.
Examples This example shows how to configure the eBGP multihop value:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router bgp 1.1
switch(config-router)# neighbor 192.0.2.1 remote-as 1.2
switch(config-route-neighbor)# ebgp-multihop 2
switch(config-route-neighbor)#
