Usage Scenario
The next hop command is used to plan nodes for an explicit path.
Configuration Impact
The following commands are used to adjust nodes on an explicit path:
- The modify hop command is used to change a node on the explicit path.
- The delete hop command is used to delete a node from the explicit path.
- The add hop command is used to add a node to the explicit path.
Follow-up Procedure
Run the display explicit-path command to view information about the explicit path.
Precautions
IP addresses configured using the next hop ip-address include command and the next hop ip-address exclude command must be different.
The include and strict parameters are used by default, meaning the tunnel must pass through a specified node.
If a loose next-hop IP address is specified in this command, configure incoming or outgoing, which prevents a failure to compute an expected explicit path.
