Usage 
Information
In Non-Deterministic mode, paths are compared in the order in which they arrive. This method 
can lead to FTOS choosing different best paths from a set of paths, depending on the order in 
which they are received from the neighbors because MED may or may not get compared 
between adjacent paths. In Deterministic mode (no bgp non-deterministic-med), 
FTOS compares MED between adjacent paths within an AS group because all paths in the AS 
group are from the same AS.
When you change the path selection from Deterministic to Non-Deterministic, the path 
selection for the existing paths remains Deterministic until you enter the clear ip bgp 
command to clear existing paths.
bgp recursive-bgp-next-hop
Enable next-hop resolution through other routes learned by BGP.

Version 8.3.7.0 Introduced on the S4810.

Usage 
Information
This command is a 
knob
 to disable BGP next-hop resolution using BGP learned routes. During 
the next-hop resolution, only the first route that the next-hop resolves through is verified for the 
route’s protocol source and is checked if the route is learned from BGP or not.
The clear ip bgp command is required for this command to take effect and to keep the 
BGP database consistent. Execute the clear ip bgp command right after executing this 
command.

To re-enable optimization engine, use the no bgp regex-eval-optz-disable 
command.
