nexthop recursive-lookup route-policy

Function

The nexthop recursive-lookup route-policy command configures route-policy next hop recursion.

The undo nexthop recursive-lookup route-policy command disables route-policy next hop recursion.

By default, route-policy-based next hop recursion is disabled.

Format

nexthop recursive-lookup route-policy route-policy-name

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

BGP needs route recursion in case of next hops. If route recursion is not limited, BGP routes may be incorrectly iterated, causing traffic loss. Therefore, next hops should perform recursion according to certain conditions.

To control route recursion based on a route-policy, run the nexthop recursive-lookup route-policy command. If a target recursive route is filtered out by the route-policy, the route is considered unreachable. In this manner, BGP route recursion will fail.

Prerequisites

The target recursive route has been determined, and a route-policy has been configured.

Note:

Before configuring a route-policy, ensure that all desired target recursive routes will not be filtered out by the route-policy.

Precautions

The command does not apply to the routes received from LinkLocal peers.

Example

# Configure BGP to filter routes based on a specified route-policy.
