Optional BGP4 configuration tasks
The route to the next-hop gateway is a BGP route, not an IGP route, and thus cannot be used to
reach 192.168.0.0/24. In this case, the Layer 3 switch tries to use the default route, if present, to
reach the subnet that contains the BGP route next-hop gateway.
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 destination.
Here is an example.
The first lookup results in an IBGP route, to network 192.168.0.0/24.
Since the route to 192.168.0.1/24 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 192.168.0.1 next-hop gateway,
10.0.0.1.
