Table 217: Next-hop Types Output Field Values (continued)
DescriptionNext-Hop Type
Flood next hop. Consists of components called branches,
up to a maximum of 32 branches. Each flood next-hop
branch sends a copy of the traffic to the forwarding
interface. Used by point-to-multipoint RSVP,
point-to-multipoint LDP, point-to-multipoint CCC, and
multicast.
Flood
Next hop is waiting to be resolved into a unicast or
multicast type.
Hold
Indexed next hop.Indexed (idxd)
Used with applications that have a protocol next hop
address that is remote. You are likely to see this next-hop
type for internal BGP (IBGP) routes when the BGP next
hop is a BGP neighbor that is not directly connected.
Indirect (indr)
Used for a network address assigned to an interface. Unlike
the router next hop, the interface next hop does not
reference any specific node on the network.
Interface
Local address on an interface. This next-hop type causes
packets with this destination address to be received locally.
Local (locl)
Wire multicast next hop (limited to the LAN).Multicast (mcst)
Multicast discard.Multicast discard (mdsc)
Multicast group member.Multicast group (mgrp)
Receive.Receive (recv)
Discard. An ICMP unreachable message was sent.Reject (rjct)
Resolving next hop.Resolve (rslv)
Regular multicast next hop.Routed multicast (mcrt)
A specific node or set of nodes to which the routing device
forwards packets that match the route prefix.
To qualify as next-hop type router, the route must meet
the following criteria:
• Must not be a direct or local subnet for the routing
device.
• Must have a next hop that is directly connected to the
routing device.
