Next-Hop Device lists
If the controller uses policy-based routing to forward packets to a next hop device, a next-hop list ensures that
if the primary next-hop device becomes unreachable, the packets matching the policy can still reach their
destination. For more information on nexthop devices, see Routing Configuration on page 309.
To define a next-hop list:
1. Navigate to Configuration>Branch>Smart Config>Routing and select the PBR sub-tab.
