# next-interface

#### Syntax

[ no ] [ suspend ] next-interface interfaceType interfaceSpecifier
[ next-hop nextHop ] [ classifier-group claclName ] [ precedence precValue ]

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Defines an output interface for an IP policy list. When the interfaceType is a broadcast medium, specify a next hop using the next-hop command. The no version removes a next interface rule from a policy list; the suspend keyword temporarily suspends the rule; the no suspend version resumes application of a suspended rule. For IP interfaces, this command is supported only on input policies.

| Note: The next-interface command has been replaced by the forward interface command and may be removed completely in a future release. The SRP module Fast Ethernet port cannot be the destination of the next-interface command.
