<div>Where is the placement of the route-reflector? If you place the route-reflector so that it is not the ebgp peering router (asbr) then all that is needed is to set next hop self on asbr and leave route reflector without next hop self. I thought best practice
was to typically remove a route reflector from forwarding path. <br>
