Overview
Use this command to configure policy-based routing. When this command is set,
all packets that match a selected class-map will be forwarded to the specified next
hop.
The
no
variant of this command removes the next-hop address (in the context of
its policy-map and class-map) from the configuration.

set ip next-hop <

Usage
Combining conventional and policy-based routing
In typical deployments of policy-based routing, some traffic types require
conventional routing (i.e. via the routes in the IP routing table) while other traffic
types require policy-based routing.
Where the traffic to be policy-routed is a subset of the traffic that is to be
conventionally routed, then the configuration is reasonably simple. To configure
this, make a policy-map that contains one or more class-maps that match the
traffic to be policy routed. Then configure their next-hop with this command (
set
ip next-hop
). The remaining traffic will be conventionally routed according to the
rules set for the default class-map, providing that this is not subject to the
set ip
next-hop.
The situation becomes more complex if the traffic requiring conventional routing
is a subset of the traffic to be policy-routed. To configure this, make a policy-map
that contains one, or more, class-maps that match the requirement for
conventional
routing. Do not configure these class-maps with a
set ip next-hop
command. Then identify the remaining class-maps that require policy-based
routing and apply the
set ip next-hop
command to them. Note that this
remaining traffic could be just the default class-map, if
all
other traffic types were
to be policy-routed.
Also note that the order in which the class-maps are configured in the policy-map
is important, because traffic is matched against the class-maps in the order that
they were assigned to the policy-map.
Parameter

ip-addr
