  1. Jordan says:

    The next-hop for the BGP route pointing to R4’s loopback points to the local interface on R4. Since R2 cannot recurse this next-hop to an outgoing interface, it is ignored (this is technically listed as being performed prior to best path according to Cisco’s documentation)

    – Paths for which the NEXT_HOP is inaccessible”
