default-next-hop

Sets the default next hop for packets satisfying match criteria. If a packet, subjected to PBR, does not have an explicit route to the destination, the configured default next hop is used. This value is set as either the IP address of the next hop or the outgoing interface. Only one default next hop can be defined. The difference between the next hop and the default next-hop is: in case of the former, PBR occurs first, then destination-based routing. In case of the latter, the order is reverse. Use this command to set either the default next hop IP address or define either a WWAN1, PPPoE1, or VLAN interface.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000
