Multihop BGP peer (two hops away from the Avi Load Balancer SE) configured with the following static route to reach to SE network through router R1 for peering with the SE: 10.10.116.0/24 next hop 10.10.3.16.

If no static route is specified, there needs to be some default route through which it can reach SE interface network.

Configure the following additional neighbor configuration to peer with SE which is two hops apart:

neighbor 10.10.116.17 ebgp-multihop 2

VIP routes on the router R2 are learned as follows:

  • 10.10.116.88/32 next hop 10.10.3.16

  • 10.10.226.88/32 next hop 10.10.3.16
