Usage
Information
Dell Networking OS software resolves the network address the network command configures with the
routes in the main routing table to ensure that the networks are reachable using non-BGP routes and
non-default routes.
As BGP does not query next-hop information corresponding to locally originated routes, a local route with
an unreachable next-hop is chosen as the best route.
