Additional Information

Values

Field

If a next hop is listed as

Discard

, all traffic with that

destination address is discarded rather than routed.
This value generally means that the route is a static
route for which the

discard

attribute has been set.

If a next hop is listed as

Reject

, all traffic with that

destination address is rejected. This value generally
means that the address is unreachable. For example,
if the address is a configured interface address and the
interface is unavailable, traffic bound for that address
is rejected.

If a next hop is listed as

Local

, the destination is an

address on the host (either the loopback address or
Ethernet management port 0 address, for example).

Network layer address of the directly reachable
neighboring system (if applicable) and the interface
used to reach it.
