Enabling next-hop recursion
In this example, the device cannot reach 10.0.0.0/24, because the next-hop IP address for the
route is an IBGP route instead of an IGP route, and is considered unreachable by the device. The IP
route table entry for the next-hop gateway for the BGP4 route’s next-hop gateway (10.0.0.1/24) is
shown here.
Since the route to the next-hop gateway is a BGP4 route, and not an IGP route, it cannot be used to
reach 10.0.0.0/24. In this case, the device tries to use the default route, if present, to reach the
subnet that contains the BGP4 route next-hop gateway.
Example when recursive route lookups are enabled
When recursive next-hop lookups are enabled, the device continues to look up the next-hop
gateways along the route until the device finds an IGP route to the BGP4 route destination.
