Switching

In  show route forwarding-table, there is a entry of type hold (Next hop is waiting to be resolved into a unicast or multicast type.)

How is the next hop resolved in this case ?

e.g. 72.36.84.26/32     dest     0 72.36.84.26        hold  1691     1 vlan.828

Hello,

This "hold" NH becomes ucast NH when a satisfactory ARP reply is received for 72.36.84.26.

"Satisfactory" means received on interface belonging to VLAN 828, not corrupted, has proper VLAN tag (if VLAN 828 is tagged), etc.

HTH

Thanks

thanks Alex.

0.0.0.0                                            Discard    34 RT-ifl 0

172.20.104.70                               Reject     36 RT-ifl 0

What is the difference between Discard and a Reject route ?

What does the following entry mean from the "---show pfe route ip---" output ? 

130.126.0.136/30                        Unilist   1048577 RT-ifl 0 entry mean :
