<div>
the route reflector can be spokes too or is done at the hub only?<br />
I got this one :Next hop self <br />
Ebgp-multihop: not clear yet.<br />
<br />
This one when you get a chance:<br />
Router2(Config-Router)# neighbor 10.1.1.1 Update-Source Loopback 0<br />
Update-Source Loopback is referring to the loopback of Router2 or to the neighboor (in my case is Router1)?<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
When I read about BGP, I get some confusion between:<br />
<br />
-Route Reflector<br />
-Next-Hop-Self<br />
-Ebgp-Multihop<br />
<br />
When should &nbsp;I use one and not the other.<br />
They could be different animals,but still don't have a clear view on each command.<br />
<br />
I also want to understand this command:<br />
Router2(Config-Router)# neighbor 10.1.1.1 Update-Source Loopback 0<br />
Update-Source Loopback is referring to the loopback of Router2 or to the neighboor (in my case is Router1)?<br />

BGP Terminology

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
