Route without exit interface

SJ K

Hi all,

 

I came across this term and swear i did see something similar in one my lab routing table. But I just cant figure out how this type of route will be created.

A route referencing only a next-hop IP address and not an exit interface must be resolved to a route with an exit interface. A recursive lookup is performed on the next-hop IP address until the route is resolved to an exit interface.

 

q1) Can any kind gurus here show or point me an example whereby how such scenario will happen  and why do we need it ?

q2) how many recursive lookup can be done ?

q3) will this kind of recursive lookup end up in a local self loop ? e.g x.x.5.0/24 exit via y.y.2.1

                                                                                                           y.y.2.0/24 go to x.x.5.1

 

Regards,
Noob
