Next-hop issue using iBGP

Stefan,

Thank you. Now it works.

Ondrej,

Either setting it up in R1 (neighbor 6.6.6.6 next-hop-self) or in RS (if 
net ~ 3.3.3.0/24 then bgp_next_hop = 6.6.6.100) I see that in the RS's 
routing table the route takes the appropriate NEXT-HOP (BGP.next.hop: 
6.6.6.100). But when I check it on Router1 - the route points to 6.6.6.6.

Best~
