Layer 3 Routing Commands 1530
User Guidelines
A packet is routed to the next hop specified by this command only if there is
no active explicit route for the packet’s destination address in the routing
table. A default route in the routing table is not considered an explicit route
for an unknown destination address.
Only one of set ip next-hop, set ip default next-hop, or set interface null0
may be specified in a route map.
Example
console(config-route-map)#set ip default next-hop 192.0.2.2
set ip next-hop
Use this command to specify an adjacent next-hop router in the path toward
the destination to which the packets should be forwarded. Use the no form of
this command to remove a set command from a route map.
Syntax
set ip next-hop ip-address [ip-address]
no set ip next-hop ip-address [ip-address]

Default Configuration
