the neighbors because MED may or may not get compared between adjacent paths. In Deterministic mode (no

bgp non-deterministic-med), the system compares MED between adjacent paths within an AS group

because all paths in the AS group are from the same AS.

When you change the path selection from Deterministic to Non-Deterministic mode, the path selection for existing

paths remains Deterministic until you enter the capture bgp-pdu max-buffer-size command to clear

existing paths.

bgp recursive-bgp-next-hop

Command History

Version Description

9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.

9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.

Usage Information

This command is a knob to disable BGP next-hop resolution using BGP learned routes. During the next-hop

resolution, only the first route that the next-hop resolves through is verified for the route’s protocol source and is

checked if the route is learned from BGP or not.

For this command to take effect and to keep the BGP database consistent, you need the clear ip bgp

command. Execute the clear ip bgp command right after executing this command.
