Enables recursive next-hop lookups.

Synopsis next-hop-recursion

no next-hop-recursion

Command Modes BGP address-family IPv4 unicast configuration mode

Description If the BGP4 next hop is not the immediate next hop, a recursive route lookup in the IP routing

information base (RIB) is needed. With recursion, a second routing lookup is required to resolve

the exit path for destination traffic. Use this command to enable recursive next-hop lookups.

Usage Guidelines Use the no form of this command to restore the default.

switch(config)# rbridge-id 10
