Routing

Hi,I want to change the bgp next-hop in import policy. But when I config the policy I found the route is hidden(the next-hop is reachable).

TOPO:

r2----r3----r5

I want to change the route's next-hop from r2' bpg to r5.

R2:

bgp {
group ebgp {
type external;
export bgp_out;
peer-as 65501;
neighbor 23.23.23.3;
}
}

R3:

protocols {
group ebgp_2 {
type external;
peer-as 65500;
neighbor 23.23.23.2 {
import bgp2_in;
}
}

}

policy-statement bgp2_in {
term 1 {
from {
protocol bgp;
}
then {
next-hop 5.5.5.5;
accept;
}
}
term 2 {
then reject;
}
}

routing-options {
static {
route 5.5.5.5/32 next-hop 35.35.35.5;
}
}

state in r3:

lab@M10i# run show route hidden extensive

inet.0: 21 destinations, 21 routes (16 active, 0 holddown, 5 hidden)
2.2.2.2/32 (1 entry, 0 announced)

Task: BGP_65500.23.23.23.2+179
AS path: 65500 I
Accepted
Localpref: 100
Router ID: 2.2.2.2

I can not found the next-hop. can you tell me why?

Can you please send the output of 

"show route resolution unresolved"  CLI?

Have you tried resolve option in next-hop?

routing-options {
static {
route 5.5.5.5/32 next-hop 35.35.35.5 resolve;
}

Can you provied us a network diagram? (networks between routers)

Hi
If EBGP use option accept-remote-nexthop
