Example When Recursive Route Lookups Are Enabled
When recursive next-hop lookups are enabled, the Layer 3 Switch recursively looks up the next-hop gateways
along the route until the Layer 3 Switch finds an IGP route to the BGP route’s destination. Here is an example.
The first lookup results in an IBGP route, to network 102.0.0.0/24:
Since the route to 102.0.0.1/24 is not an IGP route, the Layer 3 Switch cannot reach the next hop through IP, and
thus cannot use the BGP route. In this case, since recursive next-hop lookups are enabled, the Layer 3 Switch
next performs a lookup for 102.0.0.1’s next-hop gateway, 10.0.0.1:
The next-hop IP address for 102.0.0.1 is not an IGP route, which means the BGP route’s destination still cannot be
reached through IP. The recursive next-hop lookup feature performs a lookup on 10.0.0.1’s next-hop gateway:
