The less-specific command makes the RTM lookup criteria less restrictive when searching for the
ip-prefix/mask. When the route-unknown priority event sends the prefix to the RTM (as if it was a
destination lookup), the matching prefix (if a result is found) is checked to see if it is an exact match
or a less-specific match. The less-specific command enables a less-specific route table prefix to match
the configured prefix. If less-specific is not specified, a less-specific route table prefix fails to match
the configured prefix. The allow-default optional keyword extends the less-specific match to include
the default route (0.0.0.0).
The no form of the command prevents RTM lookup results that are less specific than the route prefix
from matching.
The default value specifies that the route unknown priority event requires an exact ip-prefix/mask
match.

Description This command adds an allowed next-hop IP address to match the IP route prefix for a route-unknown
priority control event.
If the next-hop IP address does not match one of the defined IP addresses, the match is considered
unsuccessful and the route-unknown event transitions to the set state.
The next-hop command is optional. If no next-hop IP address commands are configured, the
comparison between the RTM prefix return and the route-unknown IP route prefix are not included in
the next-hop information.
If more than one next-hop IP address is eligible for matching, a next-hop command must be executed
for each IP address. Defining the same IP address multiple times has no effect after the first instance.
The no form of the command removes the IP address from the list of acceptable next hops when
looking up the route-unknown prefix. If this IP address is the last next hop defined on the
route-unknown event, the returned next-hop information is ignored when testing the match criteria. If
the IP address does not exist, the no next-hop command returns a warning message, but continues to
execute if part of the exec script.
The default value specifies that no next-hop IP address for the route-unknown priority control event is
defined.
