next-hop (object tracking)

Last Updated : Oct 26, 2015 |
Specifies the next hop for the RTR probes, bypassing normal routing. Use no next-hop to disable setting of the next hop.
Prolog information
Note:
Run the type command to define the RTR operation’s probing method and the IP address of the remote device before using this command.
The next-hop command is disabled by default.
The interface-keepalive bypass-logic command is automatically appended to the RTR configuration if you specify the next hop for the RTR probes, and automatically removed from the configuration if you specify no next-hop.
When applying tracking to a static route, a PBR next hop, or the DHCP client default route, specify the same next hop for the object tracker’s RTR.
