the route-map statement are applied. If no match is found in the route-map, the packet is not dropped,
instead the packet is forwarded using the routing decision taken by performing destination-based
routing.
Format set interface null0
Mode Route Map Configuration
set ip next-hop
Use this command to specify the adjacent next-hop router in the path toward the destination to which
the packets should be forwarded. If more than one IP address is specified, the first IP address associated
with a currently up-connected interface is used to route the packets.
This command aects all incoming packet types and is always used if configured. If configured next-hop
is not present in the routing table, an ARP request is sent from the router.
In a route-map statement, ‘set ip next-hop’ and ‘set ip default next-hop’ terms are mutually exclusive.
However, a ‘set ip default next-hop’ can be configured in a separate route-map statement.
Format set ip next-hop ip-address [...ip-address]
Mode Route Map Configuration
Parameter Description
ip-address
The IP address of the next hop to which packets are output. It must be the address of an
adjacent router. A maximum of 16 next-hop IP addresses can be specified in this ‘set’
clause.
no set ip next-hop
Use this command to remove a set command from a route map.
Format
no set ip next-hop ip-address [...ip-address]
Mode Route Map Configuration
set ip default next-hop
Use this command to set a list of default next-hop IP addresses. If more than one IP address is specified,
the first next hop specified that appears to be adjacent to the router is used. The optional specified IP
addresses are tried in turn.
A packet is routed to the next hop specified by this command only if there is no 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.
In a route-map statement, ‘set ip next-hop’ and ‘set ip default next-hop’ terms are mutually
exclusive.However, a ‘set ip next-hop’ can be configured in a separate route-map statement
