VRRP Configuration Command Reference
440 Router Configuration Guide
The no form of the command prevents RTM lookup results that are less specific than the route prefix
from matching.
Default no less-specific — The route unknown priority events requires an exact prefix/mask match.
Parameters allow-default — When the allow-default parameter is specified with the less-specific command,
an RTM return of 0.0.0.0 matches the IP prefix. If less-specific is entered without the allow-
default parameter, a return of 0.0.0.0 will not match the IP prefix. To disable allow-default,
but continue to allow less-specific match operation, only enter the less-specific command
(without the allow-default parameter).
next-hop
Syntax [no] next-hop ip-address
Context config>vrrp>policy>priority-event>route-unknown prefix/mask-length
Description This command adds an allowed next hop IP address to match the IP route prefix for a route-unknown
priority control event.
If the next-hop IP address does not match one of the defined ip-address, the match is considered
unsuccessful and the route-unknown event transitions to the set state.
The next-hop command is optional. If no next-hop ip-address commands are configured, the
comparison between the RTM prefix return and the route-unknown IP route prefix are not included
in the next hop information.
When more than one next hop IP addresses are eligible for matching, a next-hop command must be
executed for each IP address. Defining the same IP address multiple times has no effect after the first
instance.
The no form of the command removes the ip-address from the list of acceptable next hops when
looking up the route-unknown prefix. If this ip-address is the last next hop defined on the route-
unknown event, the returned next hop information is ignored when testing the match criteria. If the
ip-address does not exist, the no next-hop command returns a warning error, but continues to execute
if part of an exec script.
Default no next-hop — No next hop IP address for the route unknown priority control event is defined.
Parameters ip-address — The IP address for an acceptable next hop IP address for a returned route prefix from
the RTM when looking up the route-unknown route prefix.
